Summer Reading 2024

Dear Readers,

Welcome to Summer!  

Summer is my favorite time to enjoy a great book! Since the school year is so busy, summer allows me the time to discover new authors, titles, and topics. It is my goal as your librarian to inspire you to read by sharing the authors that I appreciate.  This summer, we won't give you a reading list, instead we want you to read a book of your choice and to return to school ready to share a title that you love with your peers. 

Here are the details:

Students who are scheduled for English I, II, III or Academic English I, II, III, IV, or Honors English I, II, III, IV are encouraged to read any book(s) of their choosing.  Students scheduled for AP English III, AP English IV, and College Composition will be required to complete specific reading and writing assignments.

To find out more, read the letter to district parents on the 2024 SBHS summer reading plans.

To support our readers, this site will offer book recommendations and activities to keep our students reading 24/7 all summer long.  Please remember that many of our recommended titles are available as ebooks and audio books via MackinVIA.  Watch this tutorial for specifics on how to add the MackinVIA app to your smartphone, in addition to general browsing instructions.  We encourage our students to come back in September with at least one book recommendation to share with their peers.  Check back frequently as this site grows.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Manganello and Mrs. Hanusosky
SBHS Librarians
