In case you don’t have your official map for the New York State of Mind Summer Reading Challenge for Adults handy, here is the list of books. Clicking on the title will take you to the catalog entry for the regular print edition. After the title we’ve indicated some of the other formats available and, where possible, linked directly to that format’s catalog entry. 
means the electronic version is only available to Larchmont Public Library cardholders after signing in to Overdrive separately from the main catalog. “LP” is Large Print books and “CD” stands for audiobooks on compact disks. In the interest of time, space and webmaster sanity we did not include formats such as playaways, abridged books, actual tapes, translations, and so on.
Note: Links to downloadable eBooks and eAudiobooks may not work. Search directly in Overdrive or OneClickDigital instead. We hope to fix this once a particular tech gets back from vacation.
