Happy Birthday, Harlequin

Do you like to read what my grandmother referred to as 'trashy novels'? Some reviewers refer to the genre as 'bodice rippers'. In honor of Harlequin's 60th, they're offering 16 free book downloads (in pdf format). You may download one title, or all sixteen.

NoveList (in GALILEO) does have Harlequin titles in its database. I searched for a few of the free titles from the 60th anniversary offering. I didn't find them. I went to Advanced Search and looked for Harlequin as Publisher. 3209 titles were retrieved!

Happy reading from Harlequin and your public library!

Sailing the Ocean Blue

What do you really know about Christopher Columbus and his voyages? A subject search in our catalog revealed 14 titles for Christopher Columbus. Ten titles are available online giving you access to the books right this minute!

Mind you, two titles refer to an education book. I wondered what that title had to do with the explorer. When I clicked on the title catalog record, I saw immediately that a personal subject was C.C (Christopher Columbus).

My subject search turned up two titles that weren't right on target. Check your search and check the results to be sure you're getting the information you need!
