Choice Reads
Have you read any good books lately and want to share the exprience? Why not head over the library's online Reader's Lounge and submit a review.
The lounge has lots of resources to help you find great new authors and books and you can also read and post book reviews of your favourites. If you liked an author and want to know what else they wrote, or who writes like them, have a look at the "Novelist" database or follow the links to popular book review websites. While you're comfortable, have a look at the author spotlight section. This month, we feature Lian Hearn, author of "Across the nightingale floor."
