NYPL #FridayReads: The Little House Again Edition February 16, 2017
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...
The Ta-Nehisi Coates reading list. So many reasons to love Levar Burton and Reading Rainbow. Revisiting Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie books. We mapped NYC literary love stories. While you wait for 1984, you can read these books. Brooklyn's queer waterfront has a rich history. How can you mend a broken heart? Sometimes you say "nah" to happy endings. We're naming a Harlem branch library after Harry Belafonte. We're all about feminist reads. Check out the patents of these incredible black inventors!
