NextReads

Do you want to find out about books that might interest you but do not know who to ask? Well, you could always ask a librarian, but you might also want to try out NextReads. Nextreads is a completely free service offered by the Chester County Library that sends you suggestions of books you might like based on your interests. You could get lists like DIY (do it yourself), popular culture, or sports among many others. The lists you select, along with a synopsis of each book, are sent to your e-mail each week. Every week you receive a new list!

To find
NextReads go to the Chester County Library website and click on the NextReads logo. If you are not in the library you may need to enter your library card number in order to use the service

I am interested in popular culture so I was delighted to find two interesting books on the popular culture list. The first is about the comedian Chris Farley, it is called
The Chris Farley Show: A Biography in Three Acts - by Tom Farley, Jr. and Tanner Colby. The second is American Nerd: The Story of My People - by Benjamin Nugent.
