Middle Schoolers, we have purchased extra copies of 1,000+ Lexile books to help support summer reading needs of D64 students. A list of high-Lexile books with extra print copies can be found here. You can also visit our Booklists page to search lists by Lexile range and see high-Lexile books in multiple formats.
High schoolers taking advanced/AP English classes, we have purchased extra copies of the required texts, which can be found on display in the Teen Loft starting at the end of May. You can view the list and place holds on titles here. High schoolers taking other English classes, your Summer Reading assignment can be found here and the recommended books here.
Our Summer Reading program begins on June 2.
