This week we're waiting for our new batch of willing staff to finish filling out their Fiction Friday questionnaires for our enjoyment.
Apparently not everyone immediately knows which literary character they'd like to date (I know, right?!) so we're practicing patience and instead we're greedily eyeing up all the new fiction in the Learning Centre and thinking we should probably share the wealth.
At Yeovil College, alongside our brilliant academic library resources, including a plethora of academic books, journals, e-books, databases and more, we also have a delightful fiction selection, situated to the right of the main desk, past our group seating area.
We have a large selection of fiction in a variety of genres, types and flavours. We also have a biography section, our Quick Reads collection and our store of book club reads past and present, which are available to borrow. We also have our Nook e-readers which have many accessibility and productivity tools and settings, and come pre-packed with excellent novels.
So what's in our fiction section?
We try and pick a selection of literary award winners and bestsellers, the most important and popular YA fiction, bestselling genre fiction and key authors or titles.
We also have a number of fiction books, particularly classics but also including poetry, plays, contemporary fiction and a range of titles which are stored with our main collection. These can be located by searching the catalogue and locating the unique Dewey code reference. Our friendly neighbourhood library staff are always happy to help too.
So here's some of our new fiction titles! Click the title to access the book in our catalogue. You can reserve titles using your ID card number and logging in.
