Summer Reading Resources for Adults
Summer reading programs at the library are usually associated with children’s programming—but with Goodreads and OCLC’s help, you can continue to engage your adult reading population and strengthen your online community.
Help your library gain visibility with readers on Goodreads, the world’s largest site for readers and book recommendations. Your library can create a Goodreads group and help local Goodreads members find out about all the great things you have in store for them this summer. Learn more in this recorded Webinar for librarians.
The super simple way to empower adult readers this summer? Create reader’s advisory lists online at Goodreads or WorldCat.org, and share it out. Readers will find new titles they love in no time—thanks to your library!Continue reading
ALSC’s Summer Reading Lists
The lists are full of book titles to keep children engaged in reading throughout the summer. Three Summer Reading book lists are available for K-2nd, 3rd- 5th and 6th-8th grade students.
Each list is available here to download for free in color and black and white. Lists can be customized to include library information, summer hours and summer reading programs for children before making copies available to schools and patrons.
The Summer Reading List was compiled and annotated by Association for Library Services for Childen’s Quicklists Consulting Committee and School-Age Programs and Services Committee through a 2013 Carnegie Whitney Grant funded by the American Library Association Publishing Committee. The 2014 list was updated by ALSC’s Quicklists Consulting Committee.
