Summer Reading at the Austin Public LibraryThe accepted notion is that we have more time to read in the summer. Many magazines and newspapers print a summer reading list for our vacations at the beach. Most of us will not get to the beach, but we might spend a Sunday afternoon reading on the grassy hillside of Barton Springs. Wherever you are, a good book can help you escape the daily grind, change your mood, or give you a new outlook on life. Austin Public Library has created its own list of 2005 fiction and nonfiction recommendations for books that have already arrived on the shelves. For more book lists please see Good Reads.
