Leisure Reading, Leisure Videos

The Genre filter is a big help in locating leisure reading and videos! Suggestion: Enter "Fiction" in the search box, then filter to the formats you want (books, streaming video), then select Genres repeatedly until you get to a list that offers detailed genres. The list in the screen capture below shows the genres that appear after filtering to Novels and then to Psychological Fiction. Select the screen capture to see a larger image.

The genres shown in the screen capture include

You can also search for the specific genres as a phrase ("Thrillers Fiction"). Ask a librarian for help!
