On Monday, the Tween Homeschool Book Club met for the last time this school year. We have had a great time over the last eight months reading and talking about books, doing fun activities, and making new friends. Now, the book club is on a summer hiatus, but we look forward to a fresh start in September with new and returning faces and more great books!

Check out the list of awesome books we read this year:

Thanks for a great year and see you in September!

Summer Reading begins in two weeks with an exciting international theme. Our Round Wall will feature books from every continent on this planet and from other worlds as well. The Children's and Young Adult departments will have a roster of fun and interesting programs; and they will not be alone. The Adult Department is working on a number of interesting programs to help and entertain you over the summer.

E*Book*Aid will be available in the front lobby every Monday afternoon from 2-4. A team of volunteer tech wizards will give you personal help with using your digital device to read and listen to electronic books.
