SUMMER READING 2022
Once Upon a Time
MYTHS AND LEGENDS
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 possibilities that would otherwise be out of reach for so many people. We are extremely proud to be your partner in making those possibilities real. This summer, let’s take your patrons on a trip through time with the TD Summer Reading Club’s theme, “Once Upon a Time: Myths and Legends.” This summer’s list is a mix of classic and modern titles that will take people—young and mature—on fantastic trips to incredible worlds. 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. We’re excited to help your patrons discover their newest favourite title wherever and whenever they’re ready. 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
