NYPL #FridayReads: The Almost 2017 Edition December 30, 2016
During the week, it can be tough to stay on top of everything. On Fridays, though, we suggest kicking back to catch up on all the delightful literary reading the internet has to offer. Don’t have the time to hunt for good reads? Never fear. We've rounded up the best bookish reading of the week for you.
We Read...
Winter coat style inspiration from the Digital Collections has us all fired up for the season, and there are new 1980s photos by Walter Silver too. We are all about these Kwanzaa traditions and stories. Guess the top library checkouts of 2016. Our 2017 reading calendars will keep your book consumption on track this year. Carrie Fisher wasn't just Princess Leia. It's okay to have reading regrets. There's always the 2017 Read Harder Challenge.
