Read it or Weep

OK – so now that you know about the Summer Reading Program at the library starting next Monday, June 8th, it’s time to choose some books to read!

So as not to reinvent the wheel, here are some lists to check out for summer reading ideas – there are SO many great ones!

Start with The LA Times – Summer Reading Guide: The 136 Books You’ll Want to Read – this one is my favorite and is AMAZING! You can choose which genre you like and explore further by reading a little summary of each book – oh, it makes me want to stay home and read everything!

If you need some help, we librarians at RRPL spend a lot of time with our noses in books and would love to give you a recommendation! We have bounteous books available here to suit your style – hardbacks, paperbacks, digital and audio.

Together, we’ll find the perfect book to savor this summer!
