Summer Reading2021Iowa City Community School District Teacher Librarians

Books & Reading are for Everyone!

The Iowa City Community School District Librarians have put together a variety of resources to help students of all ages spend some time reading and exploring throughout the summer.


While the resources are listed under grade level bands, we encourage students and parents to check out all the resources shared, especially those that don't list a grade level as they will appeal to a wide range of ages! We believe Books are for EVERYONE! Happy Reading!
