During the week, it can be tough to stay on top of everything. On Fridays, though, we suggest kicking back to catch up on all the delightful literary reading the internet has to offer. Don’t have the time to hunt for good reads? Never fear. We’ve rounded up the best bookish reading of the week for you.
We Read...
Books that will make you seriously laugh, even when the going is tough, and the Notorious RBG's recommendations for raising confident girls. We're making wireless internet available to more public school students. When the present doesn't feel your speed, you can always time travel in literature. Remember the literary brat pack? Back in the present, give a hand to our 2016 Library Lions Honorees. These recordings tell the story of the fight for black voters's rights, and these photos capture suffragettes fighting for women's right to vote. Need help figuring out Uncle Tom's Cabin? Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Margo Jefferson break it down for you. The writers who influenced Neil Gaiman are superwomen.
