An Online Readers Information Service for Members of the OC Public Libraries (OCPL)
Introduction
The OC Readers web site has been created to provide easy access to digital libraries (full content e-books), book reviews, book awards, and bestseller resources that are currently available on the Internet. The site's collection includes resources from web sites, newspapers, magazines, libraries, online book clubs, blogs (web logs), and other specialized sources of literary information that we think will be useful to our readers.
Please use the menu options shown above in the upper-central section of the page to navigate around the site. The menu options include: authors, bestseller lists, book reviews, and book awards, which are a major part of what this web site is all about. The bookmarks menu option provides a list of links to freely available e-books, library catalogues, instruction materials, and the like. Additional links to resources for grammar, writing, and reading are also included for those of us who may be taking classes, or would like additional information on how to become better readers or writers.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us
