Book Recommendations
We have selected titles from a range of categories to make it easier for you to choose books from The New York Public Library's digital collection.
We will continue to update the list throughout the year.
To find the books on this list:
Using the SimplyE app, tap the "magnifier" icon (top right) to access the Search field from the Home Page of the app.
You will know you are on the Home Page if you see a red house in the top left corner. If you don't see it, tap "< Back" until it appears, then Search. (Search is available from elsewhere in the app but seems finicky to us and we recommend you search from the Home Page using the full title of each book.)
Should all the licenses of the book you want already be checked-out, you can select "Reserve"to receive a notification when the book becomes available.
