US Summer Reading Look Book: Oceans of Opportunities 2022

SUMMER READING 2022

OF OPPORTUNITIES

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 patrons 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 patrons 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

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.
