Read with Northeast Library - Shakespeare

In Celebration of Folger's Searching for Shakespeare

Read with Northeast Neighborhood Library all year! Every month, we will issue a new reading challenge around a different theme. Complete at least five monthly challenges this year and win a prize!

In honor of the 400th anniversary of the printing of the First Folio, a collection of Shakespeare plays including many that had not previously been in print, this month's theme is Shakespeare! Please read a Shakespeare play, a biography of Shakespeare, or a novel that adapts or retells one of Shakespeare's works. 

When you finish reading a book, drop a slip with your contact info and a little about the book you read in the Challenge Box by the display, or do so digitally by clicking the "Register" button on this page . 

Check out the display at the Northeast Library for book options, or for more ideas that fit the theme, check out some of these lists:

• "The Best Modern Shakespeare Adaptations" - Book Riot 
• "Much Ado About Shakespeare: Modern Adaptations & Retellings" - New York Public Library
• "Shakespeare biographies: the good, the Bard, and the ugly" - The Guardian

Also check out other "Searching for Shakespeare" programs and events happening around the city this April!
