Browsing New Materials...Online!

Any new books at the Library?  There's a quick answer for that, on the front page of the catalog.  Once a week--usually on Tuesday--the list of materials just added to the Library collections is updated.  Not all sections will have something every week, but most do and sometimes the lists are quite long.  Just click on the "New Materials Lists" link to get started.

The New Materials Lists page is easy to search and browse:  it first is divided into Adult, Teen and Children's collections, with more sub-categories listed below those headings. If you like Adult Fiction, you can limit your browsing to just Mysteries or just Large Print books.  If Nonfiction is your first choice, the list is separated by the Dewey Decimal classification numbers:  100/200/300 and so on.  I routinely check the 900s and Biography, because I like reading about history and travel.  And then I check the DVD TV section, because I'm hooked on a number of British TV series.  And then it's on to the Mysteries...

Most formats are represented, including DVDs, music compact discs, books on disc, and eBooks and eAudio. The display of the book cover (or DVD cover, or CD cover) beside the title is helpful, and there's a direct link to the regular catalog entry where you can place a hold if you wish.

The majority of the items on the list are newly-published, but you will also see other things new to our collection even if they were published several years ago.

It's a great way to browse our virtual New shelves.  Check back once a week!
