Find Your Summer Reading Books
Summer Reading at Arlington High School
Who's ready for summer reading? Your AHS Library, that's who!
Do I have a summer reading assignment?
See Summer Reading and AP Assignments and ELA Summer Reading 2023 on the AHS website to see what your summer reading requirements may be. Most English classes and many Advanced Placement classes do assign books or other work over the break.
Can I get my summer reading books from the AHS Library?
Extra copies of assigned texts will be available throughout the summer on Sora, courtesy of our membership in the Massachusetts Library System's e-book consortium. See E-Books & Audiobooks for detailed instructions.
We have limited copies of summer reading books in print at the AHS Library. Check the AHS Library Catalog for availability. We make these generally available in the fall so students can refresh their memories for assessments, but if you need to borrow something over the summer, come talk to us.
Books from the AP Biology reading list are available for summer checkout throughout June.
Where else can I get my summer reading books?
Robbins Library also purchases extra copies of AHS summer reading books. Check the Robbins Library Catalog for availability. If you prefer to own your own copy to mark up, etc, the Book Rack is a great local option.
Please contact us with any questions or special needs. Happy reading and have a great summer!
