Books Just for You

Thank you for submitting a Mesa Public Library Reader Request Form
and with this great email came a 5 page print-out of custom book recommendations just for me!! How good does this get? I love the personalization of the list. I had to fill out a 3-4 page questionnaire that was really quite detailed, but it was all insightful and gave me a great opportunity to figure out how I could use this idea in the classroom. ( FYI - I told the students I was doing this as a guinea pig! I make so many sacrifices for my students...)
Here's some of what they recommended...
I haven't listed all the stand-alones they suggested OR new authors OR the books they recommended that I had already read - - BUT it was enough to intrigue me and I added 8 new books to my stuffed bookshelves. I am ready for vacation AND any reading emergency.
What a great service! I am truly going to try this in some format in our classroom this next year.

Interesting. I've never heard of this, but I go to the county library in Gilbert instead of the City of Mesa branch closest to me. I just like the county one better - it's bigger, nicer and much better organized. I like the custom-made library list, though. Very cool.
