School Required Reading

The Riverdale Public Library compiles area school summer reading lists for your convenience.
We have the lists accessible at the front desk, and in the childen's and teen's areas.
Whether we own the book, or whether we will get it for you through our inter-library loan system, and where in the library the book is located,  is indicated on the list.
