BookMatch

BookMatch Submission Form

InstructionsOne of a librarian’s favorite jobs is to recommend books to patrons. We can’t simply name a book because we liked it; we need to know the patron’s preferences. The Glen Ellyn library is offering an exciting new service for avid readers of every stripe. BookMatch gives cardholders the opportunity to receive a customized list of titles prepared by our expert readers' advisory team. Fill out this questionnaire, and within a week to ten days your list will be ready for you. Glen Ellyn patrons only, and those 18 years or older, please.
