You'll find LOTS of copies of the books, ebooks, audiobooks on the New York City Summer at the Library lists.
While there is no required reading for BNS and BCS students, we encourage everyone to visit the library often and try to read at least two books from any of the NYC reading lists below.
ASK's Summer Picks
DID YOU KNOW?
New York City library services are provided through 3 independent systems: the Brooklyn Public Library, the New York Public Library and the Queens Borough Public Library. This summer, all three systems are working together to offer free programming, special events, and, of course, book recommendations. As a resident of New York State, you are also entitled to a library card from each system, which means even more choice!
If you’re 13 years old or older and live, work, attend school, or pay property taxes in New York State, you can apply for a free library card to the Brooklyn Public Library, New York Public Library, and/or the Queens Public Library!
Happy Reading from ASK!

This year, ASK is relying on our public libraries to provide our Summer Reading booklists simply because it means these books will be readily available to patrons all summer long! Less waiting and more reading!
But do check out our favorite books of the year, as well as the list of books our 1st graders read with Karen this year. The reading options are endless. Have a great summer!
