Even if you’re not taking a trip this summer, you can still explore the world through books. Your library has books on people and places around the world, so relax in an armchair or perhaps a hammock or beach towel, and read your way around the world.

Need some suggestions on where to start? You can subscribe to our Armchair Travel Newsletter. Every other month you’ll receive an e-mail newsletter that includes both new and older books of travel adventure.
