Lake County Library launches new resource for readers
The Lake County Library now offers NoveList Plus, a resource that helps match readers with books that are right for them.
The NoveList Plus database makes recommendations so readers can choose what to read next.
One of the most popular features is read-alikes which suggests titles that are "just like" other titles.
If you’ve just finished a great book, log into NoveList Plus and find great read-alikes for titles, authors and series.
Consider NoveList Plus with its lists of recommended and award-winning books as your one-stop guide to great reading. It covers both fiction and nonfiction titles for all ages from the youngest readers to adults.
It also has extra content like reviews (both professional reviews and reader reviews), book discussion guides, curriculum guides, and other book-oriented articles. Book groups and teachers find these resources especially helpful.
Library usage is a critical component in literacy and educational success, and NoveList Plus provides valuable support. By identifying the right books for every reader, it helps younger readers achieve reading success. Parents, teachers, and students can search by age, reading level, grade, and more.
Audiobook recommendations are a recent addition to NoveList Plus. When you want to find the perfect listening experience – whether that means short books, long books, something for the whole family, or a specific narrator – this service will help you find lots of suggestions. Sound clips are included so you can get a preview.
Ask about NoveList Plus on your next visit to the library. You can find Novelist Plus recommendations right inside the library catalog. Simply search for a book, click on a title, and then scroll down and expand the Novelist tab to find series information, similar book recommendations, and more.
For more information, please call 707-263-8817 or contact any Lake County Library branch.
Lake County Library branches are located at 1425 N. High St. in Lakeport, 14785 Burns Valley Road in Clearlake, 21256 Washington St. in Middletown and 310 2nd St. in Upper Lake.
