GRADES 6 - 8: PARTICIPANTS MUST BE REGISTERED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE A BOOK & TO PARTICIPATE IN THE BOOK DISCUSSION
Calling all Jr. High readers! Our book club will dive into a variety of exciting reads, from timeless classics to the latest modern releases. We’ll explore different genres, including poetry and even some Shakespeare... maybe. Whether you’re a seasoned reader or just starting out, there’s something for everyone. Come share your thoughts, make new friends, and discover the joy of reading together.
Beginning on Friday, March 28th, registrants can come to the library to pick up their copy of Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien. The book discussion will be on Thursday, April 24th at 3:30pm. Readers that participated in The Golden Compass book discussion will receive priority registration and will receive a copy of the book at the discussion.
Mrs. Frisby, a widowed mouse with four small children, is faced with a terrible problem. She must move her family to their summer quarters immediately, or face almost certain death. But her youngest son, Timothy, lies ill with pneumonia and must not be moved. Fortunately, she encounters the rats of NIMH, an extraordinary breed of highly intelligent creatures, who come up with a brilliant solution to her dilemma. And Mrs. Frisby in turn renders them a great service.
