Curating this booklist brings back many fond memories, as I used to teach EFL (English as a Foreign Language) while living as an expat overseas. If you’re an educator like I am, you are well aware that finding suitable reading material can be both arduous and heartbreaking. I hope this list makes it a bit easier for you. And for those that are simply curious and looking for the next great read: cheers! Please note that this blog post is part of a curated series by yours truly. A Library card and PIN will be required to access many of the resources listed.  Need help with your card or PIN?  Contact your nearest location or call 419-259-5200. Need a new card?
