readers advisory main imageThe Readers Advisory Department has been reorganized in hopes of providing greater programming and services. This is a patron-oriented library service committed to promotion of lifelong reading. We will provide monthly lists of new fiction acquisitions and you may look for more "cheat sheets" for genre selections and award winners this fall. We are excited about sharing and talking about books and are more than happy to suggest "good" titles.

The Berwyn Public Library collects all types of fiction, so never apologize for your reading tastes! We have westerns, romances, fantasy, suspense, historical, science fiction, horror, classics, award winners, mysteries, family sagas, Christian fiction, gentle reads, anthology/collections, modern storytelling, holiday fiction and literary fiction.

Visit us for your next great read!
