Welcome to your Summer Reading Road Trip, Mustangs!

Our goal is to help you discover interesting, entertaining, and thought-provoking books to read before we meet again in August.


Revisit an old favorite or try something totally new…let’s all find at least one book to read this summer!


Look for opportunities to connect and talk about your reading selections with us over the summer and in the fall when we return to school.

The LMC offers a special thanks to all D30 staff members who contributed summer reading book preview videos!

Before you Browse...

Our summer reading suggestions are intended to appeal to a wide range of readers.

Books that are labeled "YA" are young adult literature and may contain mature content. Please work as a family to select personally appropriate books for summer reading.

Book Access

Our summer reading titles will be available at the Northbrook Public Library as well as the Glenview Public Library.


Hey Mustangs, remember that the books that you read for Maple's Reading Road Trip count towards the summer reading programs at our public libraries!

Take a moment to investigate the summer programs available at the Glenview Public Library and the Northbrook Public Library!
