It’s not only us librarians that get to tell everyone about what we are reading. We have an excellent page on the Kids section of the library webpage, called Book Buzz, that is just for children to post their own reviews of fantastic books that they are reading or have enjoyed. All you have to do is go to the Book Buzz page, tell us your first name and your age, the title of the book and the author, and then tell us why you liked it. You don’t have to write heaps, so if you just want to say something like ‘This book was great. I liked the characters” or “It’s awesome! I stayed up all night to read it” that is absolutely fine. The idea is to tell other kids about the book and make them want to read it. This page is also good if you can’t find something to read because you can have a look at the books that other kids have reviewed and find something that you might like. Reviews are also organised in genres such as Adventure, Fantasy, and Family so that you can pick a type of book that you like.
If you’re a teen, you can also post your own reviews on our teens page The Pulse. If you click on the Read section and select Reviews you can post your own reviews, read reviews that others have written and look at some fantastic websites that also review books that you could read.
You can also comment on books that we review on the Library Blog by clicking on comments at the end of each post and typing in your name and comment. We always like to know what people think of the books/music/movies that we recommend.
