My First Book Group – 2nd Tuesday at 3:30
Beginning this September, the library will host a monthly book club for primary school-aged students. On book group day, we will begin by eating a snack and walking through the pictures, reading the book aloud together, and then reading through silently or with our grownups, before coming back together to talk about the book and enjoy some imaginative play.
Registration will not be required, but if you are interested, we invite you to talk to Mo about joining in so we can have an idea of how many books to request, or to discuss what would be helpful to your child.
Our first meeting will be Tuesday, September 13th at 3:30 or after Richards School lets out. We’ll be reading Pete the Cat: Too Cool for School, by Kimberly and James Dean. Other book choices will include Chicken Said, “Cluck!” by Judyann Ackerman Grant, Otter: Hello, Sea Friends! By Sam Garton, and Biscuit and the Little Llamas by Alyssa Capucilli.
