Introduction

Who do you ask if you need help in finding a good book to read? You can ask any of our librarians for assistance. But if you’re looking for experts, talk to the RATS or the CATS!

RATS stands for Reader's Advisory Team Services.

CATS stands for Children's Advisory Team Services. The CATS are here to help with Reader's Advisory for children.  They read it all - fantasy, mystery, realistic fiction, historical fiction, animal stories - lots of different stuff.  Even though they open everything from non fiction to science fiction, they never go too long before reading a book with a bit of fantasy in it.

 

Search for author, title, subject... anything about books

All of our librarians are ready and excited to assist you.

We read reviews and journals, have monthly meetings, attend conferences and workshops, talk about books with lots of folks and consult with our fellow librarians. It is that shared communication that gives us lots of information so that we can give you the best possible service.

Join in the fun on our blogs. Comment/share your book recommendations with others.

There is no greater joy than suggesting a book to a fellow reader.
