Summer Books

Read It Forward

This summer, the libraries of the Capital Region will Read it Forward with TWO books: The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes and Graceling Graphic Novel by Kristin Cashore and Gareth Hinds.

Pick up a free copy at the Library, read, and then forward it on to a friend! No due dates! The book is available on a first come, first served basis.

You can also participate by downloading the title as an e-book or audiobook – click the titles above to find them on Libby!

Fill out this survey telling us what you thought of the book you read to be entered to win a gift card to the Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza!
OR, let us know what you thought by emailing youth@guilderlandlibrary.org.
