Now, when you search the library catalog for books, movies, or music, a new button appears after each title in your results:
Add to My Wishlist
You can use this button to save titles into a wishlist — perhaps a list of what you’ve already read, or a list of what you’d like to read. In fact, you can do both, because you can keep up to ten different lists, with up to 30 titles on each list.
To see your lists once you’ve started them, click the link at the top right of the catalog:
My Wishlist
Saved titles always go into a list named My List. To put them in a different list, click the box to the left of a title, click the Move To menu, and select [New Wishlist]. You’ll get a chance to name the new list.
We suggest you log in (My Account) when saving titles into lists. Why? Your wishlist will only be saved for later if you log in. Otherwise it will be cleared out when you leave the catalog or close your web browser. Saved lists remain for six months.
Books We’re Reading - Check out this list of past, present, and future book discussion group titles. Fiction and non-fiction from contemporary and historical authors.
Titles in bold type are new for the upcoming 2008-2009 book discussion groups.
Also available: Our Picks - Dozens of book lists gathered by our very own librarians. Find your next favorite author, in the topic or genre that interests you!
This year, join us in reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Events at the Library during September and October will include book discussions and film screenings.
