Around the World Book Club
Explore multicultural books and food
Do you love to read and eat? Do you want to discover different cultures and global connections? Are you in middle school? This is the book club for you!
Around the World Book Club for students in grades 6-8 combines a love of reading, eating, and learning about global perspectives. Meetings will take place on the last Monday of the month during the school year, but not on school holidays or during school breaks.
Participants can sample foods from diverse cultures related to the Young Adult (YA) books read by the group.
Titles will be selected by the Teen Librarian that are appropriate and appealing to middle school students and represent multicultural perspectives and characters.
Book titles will be selected this fall.
Meetings dates will be September 28, October 26, November 30, January 25, February 22, March 29, and April 26 (seven sessions).
Copies of the books are available to check out from the library or you can obtain your own copy. Contact the teen librarian if you need help finding a copy or placing a hold on a book.
Participants are welcome to bring food to the meeting to share with the group, and the Library will provide delicious treats as well.
Register for one or several dates; please sign up with the student's name, age and grade.
