Annotated Bibliography

Every year, teachers selected for the Memorial Library Summer Seminar create annotated bibliographies of the books and films that have influenced their lives either as adult readers or as teachers of students from middle school through college. On these pages, you will find their personal selections and annotations preceded by a brief description of the work created by the Library of Congress. You can search by the author’s last name, the title of the work, or the genre (i.e. poetry, social science, fiction, nonfiction, film, history, etc.). Note that many works, due to their popularity and importance, have been cited repeatedly.
