As a child I have fond memories of my grandfather taking me to the public library.  I was amused by the assortment of adventures I found there. There was so much to read about I found the list of suggested books to read very helpful. In fact the lists provided a goal for me. I set out to read every book listed for my grade. I looked forward to making it to the next grade’s list. The Memphis Shelby County Libraries no longer publish the lists. In an effort to replace the empty cavern left by their extinction I found this site by the New York Public Library. Listed below are other sites that have lists also. A good book is a good book no matter what so several titles are listed on more than one list. I have used it as a guide this summer for my boys and I think you will find it helpful too.
