Library Catalog
Do you need a book for your outside reading? The library catalog (Alexandria) includes some quick links to honors reading lists and other lists of recommended books.
On the library's Alexandria home page, there is an Explore section with icons that link to various lists. Under Class Reading Lists you'll find a icon for Literature & Language Arts that will bring you to the honors reading lists and suggested reading lists for various classes. The Book Lists & Recommended Reading will take you to some other lists with great options for your outside reading. There are also links to the current Dorothy Canfield Fisher Award and Green Mountain Book Award lists.

Book reviews by students
There are some book reviews that can be read on the library catalog and also on the NMHS Reads blog. How can you tell if a book has a review already available in the catalog? If you see stars under the cover picture that are colored in and not blank, that book has a review. Click on the stars to get to the pop-up menu that lets you read the review (or add one of your own!)
