Summer Reading

• Students are required to read a minimum of 2 books, and book suggestions are offered.
• With parent approval and signed consent, students may choose to read books that are not on the lists.
• Students will be asked to share one of the books they read, and they will be provided with a menu of digital and nondigital options for doing so.

Our school has access to MackinVIA, which provides ebooks and audiobooks for several books on the summer reading lists.

The MTPL has all of our summer reading books on their shelves. Check their catalog from home to see if/when books are checked out or available to borrow.

Use your (free) MTPL library card to access ebooks and audiobooks on Libby and Hoopla.

Libby: Download the Libby app on your phone, or visit libbyapp.com to get started on your computer.

Visit a local branch, or go to the Monmouth County Library website to learn more.

In addition to print books, the Monmouth County Library system offers ebooks directly from its website. Search their catalog from home, then filter by format or look for the eBooks symbol next to each book title.
