What to read next?

One of the best places to go for a recommendation is NoveList on AskRI.org. You can plug in a book, series, or author you've enjoyed and get "read-alike" suggestions. It is a great place to begin!

Ask RI- So Many Resources in One Place

I cannot sing the praises of AskRI.org enough. We are so fortunate to have these resources at our fingertips. You can read a digital version of a magazine, search information in a variety of online encyclopedias and databases, learn a new language, discover your next good read, and get homework assistance. AskRI.org is the best-kept secret in the state but I hope we can change this!
