NYPL #FridayReads: The Love a Typewriter Edition January 5, 2018 by Tracy O'NeillJanuary 5, 2018

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...

One hundred classics from around the world in translation and our favorite illustrated children's books of 2017.  We've got the lots of love for Braille. Here's the skinny on Times Square, the "crossroads of the world." Remembering Sue Grafton, a prolific mystery writer. Yes, even bigtime authors have exercise routines. Typewriters take center stage in Tom Hanks' short stories. Got a printer? Then you've got the chance to get these 50 printable bookmarks without even leaving home. Kids can get an early start on a love of sci-fi with these books. 2018 is looking good when you consider these 46 books written by women of color coming out this year. Craving facts and books? You're not alone.

TGIF:

No need to get up! Join our librarians from the home, office, playground — wherever you have internet access — for book recs on Twitter by following our handle @NYPLrecommends from 10 AM to 11 AM every Friday. Or, you can check NYPL Recommends any day of the week for more suggestions. ​

It's showtime!

We've got a brand new show! Watch on Facebook Live on Fridays at noon. You can ask Gwen and Lynn to recommend your next read and hear what other patrons are loving lately too.
