Summer Tales, a fun summer reading program, hosted by New Brunswick Libraries and Summer Session, was launched to create virtual communities for students taking classes remotely this summer.
The non-credit course in Canvas promises short mental breaks from coursework through a fool-proof method of distraction: reading short stories and discussing related issues with fellow students. See more in our guide.
