NoveList

I’m quite sure no one enjoys that special brand of brain fog when you are asked to recall a specific book title. Then there’s that glorious and daunting moment when you find yourself in need of a good book. Good news! There’s a tool for that, and you have access through Herrick District Library’s online resources! We think you will enjoy NoveList (also available for kids or through our online resources for kids).  

A few ways you can start exploring NoveList: 

  • Hunt for that book title you can’t quite remember 
    • Use the search feature to type in a few keywords associated with the book

  • Find your next great read 
    • Use the search feature to look up a book you read and adored
