Database Feature: Novelist
Now that all English classes have had a chance to get books delivered, students might enjoy a tool to find their next book. Novelist is a great tool. It has book reviews, and a feature where you can look up a book you like, and find books like it! While our library won't have all of the books, it is a good place to start your search. See the video below for more information.
