Teen Book Club!

We are starting up a teen book club, run by teens for teens. Any teen in 6th through 12th grades is welcome to attend.

 

Join us for the first meeting, Wednesday, November 15 at 3:00p.m. Most meetings will probably run about 1 hour. At this meeting, you will get to know each other and your reading preferences, vote on the first book, and schedule the next meeting. 

​

We will be deciding at the meeting how often and when to schedule book club meetings, so hopefully we can work around all of your busy schedules!
