<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt">ALSC's Quicklists Consulting Committee</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> has updated their Summer Reading Lists with new and exciting titles for 2023. The lists are full of book titles to keep children
engaged in reading throughout the summer. Four Summer Reading lists are available for birth-preschool and grades K-2, 3-5 and 6-8. Each list is available here to download for free. Titles on the 2023 Summer Reading Lists were compiled and annotated by members
of ALSC’s Quicklists Consulting Committee. ALSC reading lists are created as a resource for children's librarians to share with patrons. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to explore these titles to find resources that may match or spark their child's interest.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
