Oceans of Possibilities: Adult Summer Reading 2022

give away items with oceans of possibilities theme on them.

Join the Florida Braille and Talking Book Library for the Adult Summer Reading Program! We have great books to offer, and fun activities to do. There are cool incentives for you, including themed water bottles, canvas bags, and lanyards.

Reading can reduce stress, slow cognitive decline, improve sleep, and improve social skills. A recent study found that individuals who read fiction may have better “theory of mind” – that is, the ability to understand that people’s beliefs, desires, and thoughts are different to their own. Audiobooks can offer a feeling of escapism, which for many can help to reduce the stress of everyday life.

How to Best Enjoy the Program:

You can read any of the books from the lists in any order, or amount. You can also email me for suggestions if you would like to read off topic. The idea is to also explore the vast ocean of possibilities of ideas and new adventures the library has to offer. You do need to send in a count of books to keep getting fun incentives, and you will need to send short reviews in order to be in the drawing for the themed incentives.

The activities are organized by themes and weeks. You can open the Chapters in order or skip ahead if one looks more exciting. Send in a picture of you and your family enjoying the weekly activities. There’s no wrong way to do it, just send in the pictures to be eligible for the drawing for the themed incentives.
