Next Good Book and Online Book Clubs

Did you know that the Ohio County Public Library website has two new features to help you find new materials to read?
The Next Good Book can help you keep track of the books you have read by creating an online bookshelf. You can also see what other people are reading and share your comments about books you have read.
The Ohio County Public Library Online Book Club allows you to select a book by chosing a genre (fiction, non-fiction, teen, romance, science fiction, thriller, etc.). Once you have made your selection, you will receive a 5 minute selection of a book delivered to your e-mail account Monday through Friday. By Friday, you will have read the first chapter or two from the book. If you want to read more, just stop in the library and check it out.
Can't find the book you want? stop by our Reference Desk and our knowledgeable staff can help. Our staff is trained to help you find a book that fits your interests. If we don't have the title you want, we can Interlibrary Loan the title or even order it! When it arrives, we will hold it for you and call to let you know you can pick it up. If the book you want is already checked out, we will reserve it for you. When it becomes available, we'll call and let you know.

Burn My Heart - Beverly Naidoo

What does it mean to be loyal?
Mathew and Mugo, two boys-one white and one black-share an uneasy friendship in Kenya in the 1950's. They're friends even though Mathews dad owns the land and everything on it. They're friends despite the difference in their skin color. And they're friends in the face of the growing Mau Mau Rebellion, which threatens British Settlers with violence as the black Kenyans struggle to win back their land and freedom. But suspicions and accusations are escalating and an act of betrayal could change everything.

Then she gets one, in the form of a mysterious drawing. Determined to find Nina, Ellie takes off on a crazy, sexy, cross-country road trip with the only person who beieves she's got a chance-her hot, adventurous new crush. Along the way, Ellie finds a few things she wasn't planning on. Like love. Lies. And the most shocking thing of all: the truth.
