Kids’ Books for Everyone Book Club

September 26, 2023 admin

People of all ages who enjoy children’s books can read and discuss together. In October we will read Front Desk by Kelly Yang, then meet for refreshments and discussion. Copies of the book are available at the O’Neill Branch.

This month’s book has been selected in honor of Banned Books Week. Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read.
