About This Guide

Relax with a Good Book this Summer!

Grab a book (or many books) this summer! 

Books are easy to take with you to the park, to a beach, on vacation, or just hanging out at home. They work no matter what the temperature; in the heat of the outside, or the cool air-conditioned inside.

Books come in all sizes and shapes, and in paper or electronic form. The stories range from mystery to romance to sci-fi, to drama, and on and on! 

If you don't know what kind of books you might like, think about what shows or movies you watch. Then ask a librarian or check out this great guide that provides many options for you!
