AU/NZ Summer Reading Look Book 2022/2023

OF POSSIBILITIES

Thank you! So many frontline workers have been praised over the last two years, but librarians have not often been included. The services and support you provide create opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach for so many people. We are extremely proud to be your partner in turning that potential into reality.

This summer, let’s take your members on a trip to the beach to discover “Oceans of Opportunities.” There are so many great stories to inspire dreams of undersea adventures or relaxing in a hammock hanging between two palm trees. The titles in this collection will excite anyone young to not-as-young—no sunscreen or life jacket required.

The hoopla team put together approximately 100 titles from our collection of audiobooks, eBooks, comics, music, movies, and TV. That’s just a fraction of the content you can recommend across a host of genres, and this year we added support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Your members can go to the ocean this summer, no matter when or where they get the urge. Make sure you check the Resource Center for ready-made materials to engage and inspire their journey!

Let’s have a great summer together, Jeff and the hoopla Team

Borrows

Early Learners

Reading is a key factor in academic success, and the younger a child starts, the more successful they tend to be. The early learner books we chose engage kids’ imaginations and can be read or played over and over again.

Read-Along eReader

Read-alongs let kids develop reading skills at their own pace. They can read the book on their own or follow highlighted text as a professional narrator brings the story to life. Pages are presented one at a time and are sized so the content fits on any screen.

Children

Keeping kids engaged with education can be tough when school is out. We created a list of titles so fun and exciting for grade schoolers, they won’t realize they’re still learning. Comics are introduced in this age group to help encourage independent reading.

Spotlight Selection: Clementine: Book One by Tillie Walden

FROM THE WORLD OF ROBERT KIRKMAN'S THE WALKING DEAD… CLEMENTINE LIVES!

Clementine is back on the road, looking to put her traumatic past behind her and forge a new path all her own. But when she comes across an Amish teenager named Amos with his head in the clouds, the unlikely pair journeys north to an abandoned ski resort in Vermont, where they meet up with a small group of teenagers attempting to build a new, walker-free settlement.

A coming-of-age tale of survival written and illustrated by two-time Eisner Award winner Tillie Walden (Spinning, On a Sunbeam).

Mystery, biography, romance, and more are here for your members. Featuring ocean themes or locales, these books will transport your patrons to the beach of their dreams…just remind them that not all dreams have a happy ending.
