It’s that time of year again. Summer is, almost, officially here. In many areas, schools are already closed. But, guess what? The libraries are open, and with whole, empty days spreading out, it’s the perfect time to settle in and read all those good books that you didn’t get to during the school year.
To kick things off, check out these lists:
- NY Public Library’s Summer Reading Challenge List, 2016 Get in the Game: Read!
- Scholastic’s 2016 Summer Reading Challenge & Be a Reading Superhero: 2016 Summer Reading Booklist
