Library Pathfinders are lovingly crafted by BCPL's reference librarians to bring you suggested reading, browsing, and viewing options. We do our best to choose topics YOU enjoy and most often request. Our goal with pathfinders is to bring you a world of suggested media right at your fingertips on subjects you care about.
Is there a subject or author you’d like to learn more about? If you have suggestions for future pathfinders, let us know! (502) 543-7675 ext. 4 / reference@bcplib.org
