For January's Book Club, we will be reading Anti/Hero by Kate Karyus Quinn & Demitria Lunetta
"As if middle school wasn't tough enough, two students who are sworn enemies run into big problems when a freaky event makes them switch places! Now they must work together if they want their old lives back, but the journey of being in someone else's shoes may bring some BIG surprises."—Summary
We will meet on Wednesday, January 12, at 3:30 p.m. Join us for a trivia-style book club battle of reading comprehension and elements of craft. To register, visit the circulation desk, email Miss Colleen at jamlibyouth@gmail.com, or give us a call at (401) 423-7280. Anti/Hero is also available through Hoopla.
Book Club will be held in the Meeting Hall. Masks are required.
For New Book Club Members
At each session, the kids vote on a book to read together for the next month. Then, Ms. Colleen orders enough copies of that book through the Ocean State Libraries consortium. You pick up the book at the library (usually a week after the last book club). Books are never due before Book Club. Please reach out with any questions.
