# How to find a new book

## HOW TO FIND A NEW BOOK

---

There’s no better way to find a new book than having one recommended by a friend. Teachers, other school staff and family members can also obviously help but sometimes we all get stumped! There are numerous websites that can assist, as well as providing information about reading generally. The list is by no means exhaustive but you may just find your favourite new book. The school’s library catalogue – OLIVER – also has a search facility, and Mrs Day or Mrs Tonkin are always happy to help.
