Are you looking for your next favorite book? Have you read everything by one author and are looking for a similar writer? Want to expand your reading horizons?  Try our Reader’s Advisory Services!

Did you know the Manchester Public Library has two staff members, Lynn J. and Lynn D., who specialize in recommending books to patrons? Our Reader’s Advisory service is like a personal shopper for book lovers, someone who guides people in finding books they would enjoy reading. Reader’s Advisors also create spaces, like displays and lists, to pique people’s interest in books they may not have normally encountered.
Lynn J. has been a Reader’s Advisor for more than ten years and her specialties are literary fiction, family drama, and historical fiction.  Lynn D. was promoted this past July to a Reader’s Advisor and her genre interests include literary  fiction, historical fiction, mysteries, memoirs, and books on mindfulness and meditation.
You may often see Lynn J. roaming the stacks. She says that the most rewarding part of her job is introducing a reader to something new. Lynn D. loves showing her enthusiasm for particular books, and bringing joy to others, something she has done for several years with bookmobile patrons.
When recommending books and authors, Lynn J. finds Harlan Coben to be well received, while Lynn D. has success with Liane Moriarty, Christina Baker Kline, and Louise Penny.
Both Lynns encourage patrons to call and ask for them, as they can pull book suggestions and have them ready for you.
Contact Lynn J at: ljacobs@manchesterct.gov and Lynn D at: ldufour@manchesterct.gov, or call the library at: 860-643-2471. Staff at the Whiton Branch building also give recommendations for patrons looking for suggestions; call 860-643-6892.
