Hello Students!
Welcome to the BCS Summer Reading 2019 website. While the lists are broken down by grade, please feel free to browse all the lists and make choices that feel right for your reading level and that sound interesting to you. Some of these titles appear on the Brooklyn Public Library Summer Reading lists, which should almost guarantee their availability. You may also find audio book editions of these titles in the Brooklyn Public Library catalog, which you can download to your phone or tablet.
We have one more task for you this summer -- make sure you have a public library card. The BNS/BCS Library participates in a special program, called MyLibraryNYC, that provides students with fine-free library cards. Fines on your regular library card will be erased if you apply for this special card. Use this APPLICATION and return it to any Brooklyn, Queens, or Staten Island library to get your card.
We also encourage you to check out Brooklyn Public Library's "A Universe of Stories" Summer Reading website. It has lots of free programs and events for all ages throughout the summer.
We can't wait to hear about all the great books you read over the summer! Have a great one!

We are delighted to provide parents with their very own Summer Reading List. These are titles chosen for their quality, social value, and enjoyability factor. We also purposely chose books that are fairly short yet pack a punch.
We encourage you to be a reading model this summer. Read something from your child's Summer Reading List or choose one of the books below. Let your child see you making time for and enjoying reading. Make a connection through reading!
