New Materials

Listed under the Reading Room tab, New Materials is a list of Rockport Public Library's latest acquisitions.  Items are sorted as fiction, mysteries, nonfiction, biographies, movies and music, and a short summary of each item is given.

Clicking on the book cover takes the user into the library catalog where more information is available. The catalog provides reviews and author as well as suggestions from NoveList for similar books and works by similar authors. The Copy Summary shows whether the title is available or checked out. A “Place Hold” link enables readers to request an item.
