"At a time when book banning and censorship is at all-time high, I am delighted to celebrate Book Match, which for a decade now has introduced the public to writers and ideas from around the world and around the corner..." said Nick Higgins, chief librarian of the Brooklyn Public Library.
"Book Match is free to the public. Anyone can fill out a form describing what they are interested in reading, authors they have enjoyed in the past, other media they enjoy, and more. A librarian then hand selects a list of five titles for every request."
"Requests include everything from books for babies to titles for older adults. One request came from a parent who said, 'my five-month-old daughter is beginning to show a lot of interest in board books.'"
"Past Book Match requests include, audiobooks that explored grand ideas and nonfiction books about long bicycle trips and a young reader asked for books that featured Greek gods and fairy tales."
