Kids can be inspired to read all year long with these recommended titles.
ALSC reading lists are created by children’s librarians. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to explore these lists to find resources that may match or spark their child's interest.
Titles on the 2025 Summer Reading Lists were compiled and annotated by members of ALSC’s Quicklists Consulting Committee.
