Video Tutorial: Subscribe to or Copy Reading Lists Youtube icon

Bookshare's librarians have curated hundreds of ready-made Reading Lists to make it easier to find and share books. You can browse these lists at https://www.bookshare.org/cms/browse. Teachers can subscribe to these lists and share them with their students. Individual Bookshare members can also subscribe to these Reading Lists for easy access to them from their "My Reading Lists" page.

Please note: you must be logged into your Bookshare account to access these Reading Lists.
