Suggested Summer Reading

Hello WES students!


I hope you are enjoying your time off, so far!


I have put together a list of suggested titles, but this is a very limited list.  You can always check in with your local librarian, a friend or a sibling to recommend a book to you!  Be open to trying something that you wouldn't normally pick up...and as always... read, read, read!
