Mother-Daughter Book Club

Learn, Love & Laugh

NEW MEMBERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!

The Tompkins County Public Library invites all girls in grades 5 through 8 and the special women in their lives to join the Library's Mother-Daughter Book Club.

In addition to reading and discussing wonderful books each month, participants will have the benefit of being led by acclaimed children's author, Emily Rhoads Johnson. Rhoads Johnson is the author of, Spring and the Shadow Man, A House Full of Strangers and Write Me If You Dare.

The Mother-Daughter Book Club provides a wonderful opportunity for participants to learn about themselves and others by discussing literature. There are no right or wrong answers during club meetings, simply open discussions where all input is valued.

The group will meet once monthly from October through May from 3:30 - 4:30 PM in the Thaler/Howell Programming Room. See (2011/2012 Meeting Schedule.)

For more information contact Carrie Wheeler-Carmenatty at 607-272-4557 X 248. New members are always welcome!
