School Reading Lists

Looking for Mahwah schools’ summer reading lists? You’ve come to the right place! The Library has most of summer reading titles available in print, and many are available to download as eBooks.

Elementary Schools

The elementary schools recommend that your child read 20 minutes a day at their level. It is important for children to read below their level to reinforce reading skills and to read above their level to challenge themselves.

The most important factor in encouraging reading is choice; children who choose what they are reading will be more motivated to read.

Our librarians are here to help your child find a book they love!

It is a very safe environment here. I like the fact that everyone knows each other and they are looking out for my kids.

I think kids still need that physical connection with a book. There is never saying no here because they can get whatever book they want to take out.

My oldest son became an avid reader, there was a difference in him. That is the biggest benefit. My kids’ love of learning different things via books.

Rochelly S., member since 1999

My latest receipt told me I’ve saved over $4,000. Just to be able to say that has meant a lot to me over the years.
