About the RAVES
RAVES! is Middletown Thrall Library's very own reader's advisory service.
This database features recommended books and authors by readers just like you. You can use this database to locate reading recommendations by title, author, or subject. You may comment upon books recommended by other readers. You can also recommend titles to other readers! This service is free, anonymous (no login or registration required), and fun! >> Please click here to access RAVES. |
Access Options:
This database can be accessed on any computer (in or outside of the library) that has Internet access. |

Some helpful hints:
Click on a title or author to see more information in the RAVES! database. When you reach a book's information page, you will see a description and some tags (subject headings) recommended by a reader. You can click these tags to see if there are other books similarly tagged in the RAVES! database. If a book interests you, look for the "Library Catalog Links" section and click on either the "Find title in catalog" or "Find author(s) in catalog" links to be taken right to our Library Catalog, where you can determine if an item is checked in at Thrall or another library in RCLS. You can even request that an item be set aside for you once it is available. If you have never done that before, we will be happy to assist you at the Reference Department. If you're feeling adventurous, try the "Random Reads" link to get some unpredictable and potentially interesting reading recommendations, including topics, titles, and authors in RAVES! and the library catalog. |
