Aaaah, summer… Time to relax and hit the beach with a pageturner. If it rains, the book can move inside with you. Where ever you like to read, don’t let the summer pass you by without losing yourself in the wonder of a good book!
Here are some suggestions that you might enjoy from the librarians at Chatsworth, Central, Murray, and Mamaroneck Avenue Schools that you can view from home. These lists are within our book catalog and have the advantage of showing the cover of the book and providing a summary.
(Try using the links directly. If you do not immediately see a list of books, and instead you see a list of the schools, choose Chatsworth and then click the Catalog tab. Select Resource Lists on the left, click on the Public Lists tab and select the desired list. )
