In the electronic world of social networking, GoodReads is the FaceBook for bookworms, with one major exception. GoodReads reflects common interests rather than mutual acquaintanceship – It’s not whom you know; it’s whom you read. Moreover, GoodReads features special groups or fan clubs dedicated to various literary interests: genres, periods, plus canonical and popular authors. Using an all inclusive approach, we hope that the Garland County Library group will foster an atmosphere of intellectual curiosity.
Feel free to read and review any book in our collection. Turn us on to your favorite novels, mysteries, fantasy fictions, romances, westerns. Share your opinions on the books that inspire, entertain or, even, disappoint you. Patron participation is the key ingredient.
Joining is easy. You’ll only need a valid e-mail address and a few spare minutes to complete a brief and non-intrusive questionnaire. Then, use your electronic bookshelf to compile lists of books you’ve read or would like to read. After establishing your profile, search for the Garland County Library on the groups tab and start recommending your favorite authors and books to fellow GCL patrons.
Keep in mind that we represent a public family institution. Treat your fellow contributors with courtesy and respect. Most importantly, have fun!
Sincerely,
Your Moderators: Scott Lewis, Tony Webb and Walton Wood.
