Elementary Fiction now available at MLSC
Based on your requests we have added a new Elementary Fiction collection bridging the gap between our picture book and middle grade offerings. This collection features upper-level early readers, beginning chapter books, and lower-level middle grade titles. Elementary Fiction books can be shared with your patrons and students and circulate for 90 days.
Individual titles can be browsed and requested via our Primo catalog<https://cscu-csl-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/search?vid=CSL_V1&lang=en_US&sortby=rank>. Search tip: used advanced search and set the scope to Middletown Library Service Center and apply the filter "Call Number contains EF." Refresh your Primo instructions here<https://libguides.ctstatelibrary.org/ld.php?content_id=66493815>.
Or, let us curate a selection for you by requesting a book bundle<https://cslib.libcal.com/equipment/item/202879>! Book bundles contain 20 Elementary Fiction titles. Let us know in the booking form if you are looking for a specific topic or genre. As the collection is still growing, selection may be limited, but we'll do our best to fill topic requests.
