What books tell the story of America?

Curated by NYPL librarians and staff, these 250 books are meant to spark conversation about the stories, voices, and ideas that have shaped our nation—with a special focus on New York stories and voices.

For a limited time, nearly all 250 books will be available to anyone with a NYPL card to check out immediately, either as an e-book or audiobook. Plus, while supplies last, select print books from the list will be available as free giveaways in NYPL branches. Learn more: https://t.co/VJGXeKOf4i

No single list can ever capture the full American story. Let us know in the comments: What book represents your American experience?
