Book Clubs

For kids of all ages, teens, and adults!

 

Early Readers Book Club

 
the cover of the book Little Shrew. It shows an illustration of a shrew, holding an old-style telephone up to its ear.

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 November the club will be reading Little Shrew by Akiko Miyakoshi.

Check out our calendar for upcoming meetings!

Funding for this program is provided by the Bradford Youth Services Programming Endowment Fund.

Tween Book Club

The cover for the book Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell. It shows a child on the bow of a boat, looking up at a dragon and another child that appears to be flying with a cape spread wide like wings.

Children ages 8-12 are welcome to join our Tween Book Club offered once a month.

Registration is required, but free!. You're welcome to bring suggestions for future books to read together! 

For December, the club will be reading and discussing Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell.
