 NoveList Plus is a database for readers of all ages.  Designed to help readers find out more about a specific book, find a new title that is similar to a favorite title or find titles in a specific genre (both fiction and non-fiction.  Users can search by author, title, or a brief description of a book.  An advanced search feature allows users to search by year of publication, Lexile reading level, author's gender, author's nationality, grade level and audience of the book, and whether it is a not-yet published book.  

An author search will reveal all of an author's works in chronological order and identify those that are part of a series as well as the book's place in the series.  Clicking on a book title, will reveal reviews of the book from professional sources.  There is also a link to GoodReads so users can read reviews from the general public.  A box to the right allows you to check off features of the book that you liked and ask the database to give you a list of similar titles.  A list of hyper-links allows you to search by the same setting, tone, pace and genre of the book.  NoveList is the next best thing to a knowledgeable library staff person.  

It's time to start thinking about filling out tax forms.  All North Carolina state forms and United States federal forms can be downloaded from the Internet.  

If you don't have access to the Internet at home, you can obtain copies of U.S. federal forms at any Currituck County Library.  We have paper copies of the more common forms and will print one copy of any form we don't have for free.  Instruction books are also available at the library for the 1040, 1040A and 1040EZ.  Instructions for some of the most common forms may also be available.  Because instructions often contain multiple pages, the library does not print instruction forms for free.  You can access federal forms by clicking HERE.

North Carolina state forms can only be downloaded from the Internet.  You can access those forms by clicking HERE.  The library will make one copy of any North Carolina form for free at any of the Currituck County libraries.
