Tween Book Club Kickoff Party

Attention Tweens (grades 6-8), join us for a casual, fun, no-pressure book club where you read what you want! Don't know what to read? No problem! Join in to hear recommendations and new ideas.
 
Library staff will be in attendance to keep the conversation rolling and share recommendations, but this is your reading club! Attend the kickoff party to meet your host and fellow participants, decide on a name, and share what you are reading. The book club will meet the fourth Wednesday of each month using Zoom. Register for your spot today to receive the meeting information.
 
If you are in grades 9-12, it's not too late to join our Teen Book Club, which meets the second Wednesday of each month.
