Find Your Next Book With New Book Matching Service

Press release from Cumberland County:

May 07, 2021

The Cumberland County Public Library announces BookMatch, a new service that will help adult readers find their next great read.

Interested customers can fill out a short online questionnaire on the library's website to identify books they’ve already read and like, as well as the characteristics they’re looking for in a book. BookMatch’s features allow readers to choose a genre, time period, location and character type. Based on the answers, library staff will then curate and email the reader a custom-made list. Customers can also have items on the list placed on hold for pickup at any of the library’s eight locations.

“We have so many amazing books and we’d love to help our customers figure out what to read next,” said Adult Services Librarian Marissa Mace.

To complete the questionnaire, visit cumberland.lib.nc.us/ccplsite/content/readers-corner. Readers can also call 910-483-7727 for more information or email the reader’s services team at readers@cumberland.lib.nc.us.
