Our Mission

The 246 Library Book Review is set up so that users can read reviews of books that they may be of interest to them, create a dialog about popular or important books, and label books so that users can find reviews of similar books that may prove to be of interest in the spirit of aiding our local Sacramento Public Library.

A similar format will be done for all reviews.  The title of each review post will be as follows: "review: BOOK TITLE IN ALL CAPS by The Author or Authors".  At the end of each review, there will be a link to the Sacramento Public Library's website showing you where the item is located and how it can be reserved.  The labels for each review will always contain the word "review," the author's last name, the reviewer's initials, and a few key words indicating what type of book it is (i.e. mystery, humor, biography) and what the content is (i.e. Iran, superheroes).  All of this is done to make each review more searchable and linkable, so that if you find a book that is reviewed that you like, you can use it's labels to link it to other reviews, finding similar items.

This resource is for you, so feel free to comment on reviews or let us know what you think on our Twitter.  How can we improve or be more useful to you, so that you can get more out of your library?
