At NoveList, every recommendation begins with a love of stories. Our team, made up of librarians, authors, and devoted readers, takes the time to handpick books that feel just right. We know that reading is personal, and that’s why we focus on what makes a story truly connect. This is the fourth installment of our series where we’re introducing you to the people behind the recommendations and asking them to share a book to recommend. Read the others on our blog here.

New Zealand's South Island boasts a geography as varied as any on Earth, with mountains, beaches, caves, sinkholes, and forests. The Tasman District Libraries serve the people who live and work in this area. The system has four locations spread out over 400 km (248 miles). Those four branches connect a population of about 60,000 people with the books and services they need.
