  1. Pick your book! Choose what YOU want to read—books will be available for any reading or interest level.
  2. Read the book! Both parent and tween need to read it, but how is up to you! You can read it together, separately, to one another.
  3. Share the book! Come to the next meeting and share your book with others in a fun and challenging way! You might need to build something from your story out of food, or invent a game, or write a song…you never know!

Registration is required, please contact library.
