Book clubs offer the opportunity to read just for the fun of reading and create a community of young book lovers. Being in a book club teaches kids valuable skills, including how to participate in a discussion by taking turns and appreciating others’ opinions. Readers will receive a copy of the book to keep.
Bookworms is an introduction to book clubs and beginning book discussion for new readers. It meets every other month. See our Program Calendar to register.
