- Another nifty find from SPL, and one that is not just geared towards school aged kids, is their book selection form. It can be accessed here. A couple quick questions about what you like to read, authors you have enjoyed or what you don’t like to read an a librarian will give you five suggestions for books you may like. I can’t wait to try it out since I’m always at a loss for additional authors I may like!
