Readers' Advisory
Personalized Recommendations
Fill out our questionnaire and let our librarians pick your next favorite read! We’ll use your reading preferences to deliver five suggested titles that you can get in your desired reading format (book, large print, book on cd, e-book, or e-audiobook) right to your inbox.
2026 Glastonbury Reading Challenge
WTML is teaming up again with our neighbors at River Bend Bookshop to host the 2026 Glastonbury Reading Challenge!
What is it?
Think of this challenge not as a competition, but as an opportunity to explore stories you might not pick up on your own. Choose books in any format you like, including print, eBooks, or audiobooks, and complete the prompts in whatever order works for you. With 24 unique prompts, you can easily pace yourself at about two books per month. Each title can only be used for one prompt.
What do I win?
Every finisher will receive a commemorative prize to celebrate their achievement (along with bragging rights and the satisfaction of a job well done). Plus, one lucky reader age 13 or older will win a $50 gift certificate to River Bend Bookshop. To be entered in the raffle, return this completed form to WTML by 5 p.m. on December 31, 2026. One entry per person. Incomplete forms will not be considered.
