Book Pass Club

Tuesdays in June and July, 2-3pm

Ever read a great book and want to tell somebody about it? Did you ever start to read a book and wish someone had told you how boring it was?

That’s the idea behind the Book Pass Club: Come to the library on Tuesdays during summer reading and meet with other teens to discuss a book that you have finished.

Make new friends. Munch on snacks.

Pass along a good book! (But remember: Don’t give away the ending!)
