Did you enjoy our new For Readers suggestion page? Well, we’ve got a few more lists you may be interested in:
We’ve gathered together a collection of resources to help you explore your favorite authors and genres. You’ll find lists of bestsellers, award winners, and read-alikes. We’ve also compiled a list of authors by style of book. If you’re looking for a new author, this is the place to start. We’ve even linked you directly to the catalog so you can see what’s available with one click of the mouse! And, as always, if you don’t find what you need, feel free to stop by and ask our librarians for a suggestion.

The Monroe County Library System has launched a revamped version of the online library catalog that can be found at visual.libraryweb.org.
The new catalog makes searching better while making targeted searches for authors, subjects, formats and library locations easier to manage.
For example, searching for “harry potter” will bring up related terms like “hogwarts”, “azkaban” and “wizardry”. The catalog will also bring up possible spelling variations along with tracking all of the related terms you explore. Give it a try and feel free to leave any comments about the new catalog.
Children’s Summer Programs are coming to an end, but we’ve got plenty of pictures of the kids having fun.

Terry Buford, the Director of the Irondequoit Public Library has launched his own blog, The Open Book. He will discuss anything and everything related to the library on The Open Book, or in his words…
“The main goal of The Open Book is to communicate all the ways the Irondequoit Public Library makes our community a better place. I’ll also throw in some cool websites, book and media recommendations, guest posts from our talented, hard working staff and all things Irondequoit. If you know me you know we’ll have some plain old silliness and fun too.”
Comments and suggestions are more than welcome.
