"I need a Good Mystery to Read." "Can you suggest
a Romance Author?" "Do you have any books that are similar to.....
?"
These are all questions I get on a weekly, if not daily, basis. I've worked in a library for almost 18 years. I started on July 25, 1995. This is the only job I've ever had. I know these statements are unheard of in this day and age but when you find a job that you love to do, it's too good to give up.
I've found several sites over the years to help me with suggestions to all my family, friends, coworkers and patrons.
