It's not a surprise to any of you that  I believe reading is a magical experience that happens any time you get lost in a story. However, this doesn't always happen easily for every reader.. Whether you're reading all the time or not at all currently, I see each of you as a reader.  Be open to the wonderfully wide variety of stories out there. Be adventurous in your explorations of information and stories. Make a conscious effort avoid labeling yourself with any sort of negative identities (i.e. someone who hates reading or only does when forced). Even if you weren't a reader yesterday, you have a choice to change that any time you read something new whether it's a comic, article, book, audiobook, blog post, manga, etc! 

With all of this in mind, here are some suggestions that might hopefully start you off on a reading adventure! If you have anything to add to my list, please drop it in the comments section below! 
  • Webcomics:
    • "As Per Usual:" a slice of life YA comic about becoming a "real lady person." This staying home comic got me laughing about quarantine. 
    • "Breaking Cat News:" humorous webcomic about cat news anchors. I liked the random roll the dice button that enables you to see new comics!
    • "Ozy and Millie" snarky fox adventures by the author who wrote Phoebe and Her Unicorn! 
    • Check, Please! another slice of life YA comic about a figurer skater turned college hockey player! 
  • Epic! eBooks (access via this link and enter class code: kat0251
    • `Check out these novels in verse. My personal favorite is Garvey's Choice by Nikki Grimes. This realistic fiction novel tells the story of a kid named Garvey who attempts to reconcile his own interests and identity with his father's single-minded plan to mold him into a sports star. 
  • MackinVia eBooks
    • Our library now has access to 1000s of eBooks in Mackin Via.
