Reading Maps

You may have noticed on the right side of the page, two new links under the "Readers Links" heading. They are Reading Maps for two books that can be found in our library. There are more to come, but take a look at these and let us know what you think?

What Are They?

Reading Maps are a visual guide to help a you find your next book, based on your interest in a particular title or subject. What makes these different from offering a "read alike" is they can tie in fiction, non-fiction, movies, audio books, and websites in one easily navigated spot.

How Do I Use Them?

Just click on the link and you will come to a mosaic of book jackets and other images. Guide your cursor over the image to find our more about that title or be connected to a link. All of the images are related to a central theme based on the main image in the middle. It should give you ideas on other places to find more information titles of similar books.

Holiday Reading

This is truly a festive time of the year, there are lights up on main street, there is a manger and a menorah on the village green, when the snow finally does start to fall ,Westhampton will look like a postcard...more like a postcard.

Why not bring a little intrigue into your holiday with one of our many Christmas mysteries featured on our display shelf by authors such as Ann Perry, Susan Brockman or Mary Higgins Clark.
There does not seem to be any Hanukkah mysteries available (at least none that I could find) so if you are an aspiring writer looking for a niche to fill, that market seems to be wide open.

Please take a look at our revamped "Staff Reccomends" shelf, where you will find books and reccomendations written by our staff members to help you find, "just the right book" when you are stuck.

Monday Night Book Club will not meet in December because of the holidays but will reconviene on January 28th with, The Sea by John Banville

I hope everyone wll enjoy the spirit of this time of year with family and friends, have a happy and safe holiday!
