Mayor Byron W. Brown’s Reading Rules Summer Reading Challenge is open to any child in any public, parochial, private or charter school entering grades K-12 in any school district in Erie County.
Many books on the Suggested Reading List can be found at Buffalo & Erie County Public Libraries.
The New York State Talking Book and Braille Library (TBBL) Book Lists offer a variety of titles about summer, adventure, nature, and wildlife. Lists are separated by reading level and organized by title in alphabetical order. Each title summary indicates whether titles are available in braille or audio format. To order titles, you may contact TBBL, request books through their online catalog, or download titles instantly through BARD. If you do not have a BARD account, please visit the BARD registration page.
