Summer Reading 2009

Summer reading is one way to help students develop their literacy skills, broaden their interests, and extend their background knowledge. During the summer all students are expected to choose and read books that interest and challenge them. Students and parents may use the resources listed in the Recommended Reading section below to select books that are diverse in terms of challenge, ethnicity and culture, topics, classic and contemporary time periods, and genres. There is something here for everybody.

This is also a good opportunity to get re-acquainted with the services available at your local Montgomery County Public Libraries branch. Your library card and account allow you to access many services online. If you don't have a library card, here are easy instructions for how to get one.

Many middle and high schools have developed specific requirements for summer reading to support their instructional programs. This site does not include all summer readings assignments. If your school is not listed here, there may still be assigned reading. Please contact your school with questions or comments.
