Novelist Plus

Novelist provides reader's advisory and "What to Read Next?" information for fiction books.  It's a wonderful tool to find series orders, Book Reviews, Author Read-alikes, Book Discussion Guides, Award Winners, Recommended Reading Lists, even details about a book's reading level (grade and Lexile).  A handy Check Your Catalog link on each book record performs automatic search of our Sage Catalog for that item.

For remote access (when not in a Baker County library), your username is the same as the county name that this library services (hint: five letters) and your password is the first five numbers of the barcode on your library card. Proceed to Novelist!
