How do you find your next book to read or movie to watch? You probably get suggestions from friends and family, or some of you may belong to social communities such as Goodreads. Perhaps you have been enticed to try something from Amazon’s “recommended for you” list or Netflix’s “because you watched…” category. Well, now’s your chance to get recommendations from the Bentley Library staff!
In preparation for the Library Staff Picks display, Donna and I asked our colleagues to select their top 10 favorite books and movies. It should come as no surprise that most people who work in libraries like to read books (no, librarians do not get to read books all day at work). We also like to watch TV shows and movies – a lot of movies (we don’t get to watch those at work either). Being bookish doesn’t mean only loving the classics or always opting for “serious” literature. The staff of the Bentley Library includes pop culture aficionados, history junkies, graphic novel fans, and dedicated audiobook listeners, just to name a few.
Enough about us. Stop by the lobby to see for yourself the books, movies and audiobooks recommended by library staff. Each item is labeled with a sticker showing which staff member made the pick. Try something new and you just might find a kindred spirit here at the library.
