Kids Read! Choose your own book! In-Person

Do you want to read forthcoming kids chapter books that aren't available yet? Join us every Tuesday for Kids Read, where Di, our Youth Collections Librarian, will share brand new kids titles that are sent by publishers directly to Di. Enjoy a large selection of books, an opportunity to win copies of the books, and the ability to share feedback about what you read with major publishers!

This book group discusses juvenile fiction chapter books. Parents are welcome to observe but asked not to directly participate.
