Do you ever find yourself staring at the shelves, not sure what to pick up next? 

Do you feel as if you’ve read every book by an author you love, and now you don’t know where to turn? 

You’re not alone! Patrons often visit the library and strike up a conversation with us at the Information Desk, asking for recommendations—and we love talking to you about what you just read and loved, or what kinds of books you enjoy. We also know how overwhelming it can be to choose  a book from the endless options available here at the Germantown Community Library. 

That’s where our new genre brochures come in! These brochures feature thoughtfully chosen recommendations for a variety of genres, including science fiction, mystery, historical fiction, fantasy, and more. Whether you’re an avid reader of one genre or looking to branch out, these brochures will help you explore books and authors that might match your tastes. Each brochure includes a list of books with descriptions, so you can get a feel for what you might like, as well as a list of other authors you might want to check out.

So next time you’re at the library, stop by the Information Desk and take a look through our genre brochures. You might just discover a new book—or even a new genre—that you never thought you’d enjoy.
