Being confident in readers’ advisory is about more than having the best recommendations to turn to. At NoveList, we know it’s important for librarians to have quick access to fun, interesting recommended reading lists to hand out, book discussion guides that ask thought-provoking questions, social media posts that encourage your community to visit your website and vendor-neutral purchase recommendations. Librarians from around the world turn to NoveList products for quick help with readers’ advisory through our curated content.
Articles
NoveList librarians and contributors put together different types of articles to help librarians in the field better help their readers no matter their age. In these articles, you’ll find information on diversity in picture books, gothic fiction, weird westerns, and more.
