  • Author Read-alikes: Developed by Readers’ Advisory librarians, these articles are the ideal solution for readers who have finished all of their favorite author’s works and are ready to move on to those of a different writer.
  • Book Discussion Guides: Designed to prompt in-depth discussion with a book group, these guides can also be used by readers or students to expand their own experience of a book.
  • Feature Articles: Feature Articles introduce books at all reading levels for a specific subgenre or topic.  Use them to plan reading lists or to learn about a genre.
