NYPL #FridayReads: The Stream a Little Edition July 28, 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...
About librarians' memories of first reading To Kill a Mockingbird and the most anthologized short stories. Artists took on an important role during World War I. Romance abounds in England, Ireland, and Scotland. Love fashion? Then you must check out our archive of Vogue Italia. When you want to read like a librarian, look no further. It's hard not to love Shark Week. Kids can join in the fun with these shark books. Go on, stream a little - with your library card! It seems cruel to make us wait for the Junot Diaz picture book. What's the deal with writer fashion? From Get Out to beyond: books and movies worth your while.

Awesome. Have you read Claudia Rankine's work yet? CITIZEN is a good place to start. #FridayReads
