If you are in Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade and love books, try out one of our  monthly book clubs. Book selections for each grade will be available at the Main Circulation Desk four weeks prior to the club meeting. Read the book yourself or have someone read it to you then come to the meeting prepared to have some fun.

Please register your child for the grade in which they are currently enrolled.

Parents and caregivers must remain in the Children's area while the book clubs are in progress.

If your child would benefit from the gentle encouragement of these patient canine listeners, please consider signing up to give your child the chance to shine at reading. Greta and Sophie lavish cold-nose kisses on all readers!
