A new & improved way to browse puzzles |
|
Breaking puzzle news! Now you can browse our growing collection of jigsaw puzzles for adults and kids by puzzle box cover image via our catalog page. Just go to nkcpl.org > Catalog tab > Puzzles (or just click here). There, you can browse by piece-count and then cover image. Handy, right? You can place any of these puzzles on hold just like you would a book, and pick them up via Curbside. And bonus! We've got lots of new puzzles on-shelf at the moment, thanks to a recent revamping of this collection. So there's a lot to explore for 'puzzling' adults and kiddos! :) Have questions or feedback on this browsing experience? Do let us know!

Be your own book detective with Novelist Plus |
|
Let's face it: Sometimes it takes a little sleuthing to find your next great read. Why not let Novelist help? Novelist is a Library service that lets you plug in your favorites (authors, titles, genres, etc.) to get reading suggestions based on those criteria. You can even search for books by limiters like mood and style: sweeping and dramatic, say, or bittersweet and compelling. In addition to canny book recommendations, Novelist offers reviews, articles, lists, and more.
