“One benefit of Summer was that each day we had more light to read by.” ― Jeannette Walls, The Glass Castle
In about 2 weeks, schools will start and this unusual summer break will come to an end. Even though I was one of those kids who got really excited about the first day of school, I tried to squeeze every last drop of summer fun I could out of those last weeks before school started. San José Public Library has eResources available to help us enjoy these last weeks of leisure before those hectic school schedules start.
If you'd like to finish off summer with some light reading, checkout eMagazines from Overdrive, Flipster and PressReader offering over 11,000 titles available in a variety of languages.
The Poetry & Short Story Reference Center has a wide variety of shorter reads available including information about the authors and critiques.
