- Sign up for the Summer Reading Challenge
- Get familiar with Libby/Overdrive
Libby and Overdrive are two similar apps that you can use to download eBooks and audiobooks. Libby is recommended if you are on a phone and Overdrive is recommended if you are on desktop. There are some books on Overdrive that are not on Libby so before giving up on your book search, make sure to check both platforms.
- Use the Ask a Librarian Form for book recommendations
You can also go to a branch in person to ask a librarian for recommendations on what books to read next.
