Grab a book!

Reading is back! Well, it never left . . .
This semester you will be responsible for completing three independent projects in response to your reading.

FIRST, you need a book. Make sure you have a book with you at all times. You can find books at our Adams Street Campus Library, the Brooklyn Public Library, the New York Public Library, Heather's room, Barnes & Noble, and many other places. Please find a book that you WANT to read!! Here are some places to go for suggestions:

My favorite place for recommendations, Reading Rants! from a high school librarian in NYC.

If you want to focus your reading on African-American writers, check out these amazing reading women in Washington, D.C.

Lots of phenomenal, award winning young adult books are listed on the YALSA site. They have lists for all genres: graphic novels, science fiction, etc.
