Selecting Books
If you know what genre you enjoy reading, you can simply browse our shelves to find what you are looking for. Most of our fiction books are labeled with dots of a specific color. Curious about what a dot means? Check out the posters in the fiction section.
Do you feel fiction is too fantastical for you? If so, our nonfiction section is full of books waiting to be read by your curious mind! Looking for a book on a specific topic? Check out the signage at the end of each shelf, or search in Destiny.
Speaking of Destiny, if you prefer browsing online to walking through the shelves, you can use Destiny to pick out your next read. You can select the "Resource Lists" link on the left menu to browse by genre on the Destiny page.
