Have FUN this summer with books,
activities, and virtual programs from Brooklyn
Public Library! Summer is the time to read what
you love – and love what you read, to make you
laugh, send shivers up your spine, transport you
to another time or place, answer questions, or
offer comfort in stressful times.
Read what you like this summer or choose
from our booklist suggestions. Most books on
the lists are available in digital formats such as
eBooks or eAudio books. Find a complete
schedule of virtual programs including
storytimes, game time, arts and crafts and
