2006 Program Booklists:

Here are the booklists from the 2006 Gotta Read This! workshops.

How can I get copies of the books on the lists?

If you have a recent version of Adobe's Acrobat® Reader® software, you will notice that the title of each item on the booklist is a link directly to that item in the library's catalog. To request the item, simply follow the link. Then click on the Place Hold button and follow the on-screen instructions, using your library card. You'll be able to choose at which library location you want to pick up the item. If a copy of the item is checked in, it will about 5-7 days for it to arrive.

If you have an older version of the Acrobat® Reader® software, you won't be able to use the links. You can either update the software, or you can print out a copy of the list and look up each item individually in the library catalog. Using your library card, you can place a hold on each item and have it sent to the location of your choice. If you haven't ever done this before, these instructions will show you how. If a copy of the book is checked in, it takes about 5-7 days for it to arrive.
