Book Clubs

For kids of all ages, teens, and adults!

 

Early Readers Book Club

The cover of Truth of Lie: Dogs! by Erica S. Pearl. It shows three dogs sitting in a grassy field, each wearing a costume. The biggest dog is wearing a pink tutu, star sunglasses, a pink beret and fairy wings. The middle sized dog is wearing an astronaut helmet and the smallest dog is dressed like a pirate, complete with an eye patch.

Children in grades K-2 are welcome to join our Early Readers Book Club!

This monthly program is meant to introduce excellent emerging reader books to children who have "graduated" from storytime and are being introduced to more formal "learn-to-read" techniques in school.

Registration is required, but participants will get a free copy of the book.

For June the club will be reading Truth or Lie: Dogs! by Erica S. Perl, illustrations by Michael Slack
