Princeton Public Library: Change Your View This Summer

Press release from Princeton Public Library:

As easily as a song can get stuck in your head, so can a story. Whether it’s a book, series, film, or something else, you’ll find yourself continuously thinking about it, mentally replaying your favorite parts, or the parts that challenged you, and wondering what comes next. The stories that stick with you can change how you see yourself or the world around you. This year, our summer reading program is themed “Reading Colors Your World” with that idea in mind. We’re celebrating diverse voices, stories, and formats through our curated book lists that reflect the traits associated with each color. We hope these stories will give you a change in perspective.

Because we can never get enough recommendations, here are a few more to help you reach your goals.  There’s a short story and essay collection for each color, for those times when you want something bite-sized to have a big impact.

Red: passionate, powerful, important 

Orange: playful, energizing, youthful 

Yellow: friendly, cheerful, luminous 

Green: natural, prosperous, fresh

Blue: serene, dependable, cool 

Purple: luxurious, mysterious, romantic 

We hope you’ll register for the Adult Summer Reading program, and please share your reading with us in person or on our social media.
