A Reader's Map
Have you ever finished a book and not wanted it to end? I bet you have. Sometimes, when a book is so good, you want to visit places traveled in the book, both physical and metaphorical. A good book will make you want to travel to Italy, or read about making pasta, or sail the oceans with pirates of days past.
In our Reader's Map you will find books that lead you to
undiscovered territories. But, like any good map, it will lead you back where
you started so you can travel another path. The books on this map relate to many
of the topics in Mark Twain's book
. You will find trails leading you to books about
Friendships, Truth and Falsehoods, or
Small towns. This Reader's Map is brought to you by the
librarians of the Jefferson County Library Cooperative.
