The Eagle Valley Library District is pleased to announce a new service for our readers. If you would like to be provided with a list of books based on your reading preferences, please fill in as much of the reader profile as you wish. The more information you provide, the more likely it is we can suggest books you will like. Leave items blank when you have no preference. Librarians at the Eagle Valley Library District will use your answers to create a reading list for you. We will contact you in a week or so with your list. All information will be kept confidential. If you have questions, please email us at ajohnson@marmot.org.
