Summer Reading 2026  

Summer is the perfect time to discover a great book. This year, there is no single required book—instead, you get to choose what you read!

We encourage you to read books that interest you and to explore at least one book connected to one of these themes:

Need ideas? Check out the recommended book lists Mrs. Foley created for each theme! You can also check out the New Fairfield Free Public Library's summer reading program for more recommendations, events, and activities.

When we return in the fall, you'll have the chance to share your reading experiences and take part in conversations about these big ideas with your classmates.

So grab a book, find a comfortable spot, and enjoy a summer filled with stories, adventures, and new discoveries. Happy reading!
