Readplus


Tell me


Readplus is an Australian database which lists books (and films etc) for children and teens. It is arranged under themes and can be searched by title, author, genre, age range and category.
It can only be accessed within the library (no remote access) and requires a username and password.
To search, simply click on the "search" button at the top of the page - pretty easy really!




Try me


Access is through the Information on the web page under Books and Reading : Children & Teenage or Databases A-Z.





Test me


1. Other than Harry Potter, a borrower wants a list of 5 books about magic published in 2010 or 2009.

2. My 8 year old son likes books about dragons. Can you suggest any?

3. What picture books are there about pirates?

4. Produce a "bookmark" of similar authors to Emily Rodda.
Hint: do an author search then click on one of her titles and follow the free bookmark link.
