We're excited to announce the launch of the Adult New Reader collection -- high interest books of popular fiction and nonfiction for adults building reading skills.

Adult New Reader books are housed in the Library's larger branches, and materials are available to all via the library’s online catalog.

The main goal of this new collection is to support the reading of adults building reading skills, including the adult learners and their tutors in our one-on-one Adult Literacy tutoring program. Books in the collection are within Lexile reading levels specifically chosen to help adult new readers.

Browse the ANR collection for something that interests you. It’s a great way for Adult Learners to make smart reading choices that suit them and explore popular stories by best-selling authors. The collection includes titles from the Book Shots series, the Rapid Reads series, and similar fiction series with shorter page counts.
