We've all got those classic novels that we never got around to, am I right? What better time than Summer Reading to catch up on a few from your list? The titles here are always available in e-book or e-audio format through OverDrive or the Libby app, so you can dive right in! Or, head over to Kanopy, where you can find plenty of film adaptations of and documentaries about these works of classic literature.

Whose name is more classic in English-language literature than William Shakespeare, the Bard himself? Although debate about his works continues, Shakespeare is thought to have written at least thirty-seven plays, and collaborated with other writers on more. Your WCCLS libraries own roughly 700 copies of Shakespeare's works, not including video adaptations! Of which of the following Shakespeare plays do WCCLS libraries own the most copies?

Like you, we hope it becomes safe for our member libraries to reopen sooner rather than later! In the meantime, your WCCLS staff are still hard at work keeping channels of communication open, managing digital collections like e-books & e-audiobooks, and maintaining our other remotely-accessible resources. Check out what else we've got available!
