Public library will curate book picks for patrons

Staff members select a Book Bundle based on the reader's responses to several questions.

The Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library has a service to help select titles for patrons. 

Anyone with a library card may request a Book Bundle by completing an online form, the library announced in a Facebook post. 

Readers answer questions about their favorite books, authors, TV shows, movies, genres, etc. The library staff uses the information to pull together several titles. It takes three to five days to curate a Book Bundle, and when it is ready the library emails the patron to come pick it up.
