It also has extra content like reviews (both professional reviews and reader reviews), book discussion guides, curriculum guides, and other book-oriented articles. Book groups and teachers find these resources especially helpful.

Library usage is critical component in literacy and educational success, and NoveList Plus provides valuable support.
