Summer Reading 2021
Iowa City Community School District Teacher Librarians

Books & Reading are for Everyone!
While the resources are listed under grade level bands, we encourage students and parents to check out all the resources shared, especially those that don't list a grade level as they will appeal to a wide range of ages! We believe Books are for EVERYONE! Happy Reading!
