The Brooklyn Public Library wants you to end the summer with sweet treat and a great book.

BPL and the National Book Foundation’s Book Rich Environments program are celebrating summer with a free icee and book giveaway at community pools starting on Tuesday.

A variety of free books will be available, both in English and Spanish, and focus on back-to-school or pool themes, including National Book Award–honored titles The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo, Swim Team by Johnnie Christmas, and Look Both Ways: A Tale Told in Ten Blocks by Jason Reynolds.
