GRIZZLY BEAR BOOK CLUB: Summer Reading 2026-2027
Please note that, while there is no required summer reading assignment for middle school students, we are pleased to present these resources as a means to encourage students to spend quality time reading. The experience pays dividends!
In addition to hosting summer reading programs for children and teens, our public libraries are also terrific resources for students who need some assistance selecting books. The resource links below may also be helpful in this regard. Don't forget that audiobooks are a great option as well, and many are available to borrow for free with your public library card!
