Fun Reference Books
Posted by: Jessica Moyer

Hearing Nancy Pearl on Morning Edition earlier today, “Mysteries you might have missed along the way,” reminded me that some reference books can be fun for browsing and inspiration.  Nancy Pearl’s Booklust and More Booklust for adult readers, and Book Crush for teens are some of my favorite fun reference books.  These are the kinds of print reference books that should on the reference shelves, but also in the circulating collections so patrons can take them home and enjoy the fun of browsing a good reference book.

What are your fun reference books?
