Syndetics Unbound: Bringing Your Library's Catalog to Life

This very short clip shows you how you can find recommended reading by using our library catalogue.  If you search up a book you have enjoyed, by clicking on the cover image and scrolling through the catalogue record you will find a heading 'You May Also Like' with recommendations for you.  You can also find other books in this age level (particularly useful if you are helping a student), a list of any awards the book has won and a brief write up about the author.  

Why reading matters | Rita Carter | TEDxCluj

Speaking is already in our genes. But reading is not. Until about 100 years ago most people didn't do it all. When we read fiction especially, we create new pathways in our brain. Reading 30 pages of fiction every night, gets the pathways thicker and thicker. Our brain needs a workout just like our body.
