Library Club Meeting - Tuesday, September 23rd



The first meeting will be on Tuesday September 23rd in the media center after school.  It will be an open discussion session of the books we read over the summer.

We are going to add after school activities to our book discussions this year.  Each month we will meet to discuss what we have been reading and also do an activity that might include a craft, game or some other event.  

We will also be making beaded bookmarks as our activity at the September meeting.  Join in on the discussion and offer some suggestions for future events.  

There are no dues to join the library club.
