Summer Reading List

The Summer Reading List display is up - it's located in the new Teen Spot sitting area, in the YA section near the new books shelves.

The books that are displayed are from the Middletown High School's (MHS) list. The reading lists from other area schools (public and private) will be added to the binder (also on the display table) as they become available. You are welcome to make copies of a reading list if you need to, but please leave the binder on the display table. Better yet, to download a copy of the reading list, click here for the PDF file. Note: PDF files must be opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader (click to down the FREE program).

While any titles from MHS that are available should be on the display table, if the OPAC (online catalog) is saying that a book is available, but you do not see it on the display table, please check the call number location - in case it was put back on its shelf. If you have trouble finding what you need, please ask a reference librarian for help.

There are still plenty of books to choose from, and more new ones on the way - get yours now!
