Can’t think of a better way to spend the afternoon than
reading a great book? Then why not meet up with like-minded teens and share
your love of reading. The “Out of the Stacks” – A Book
Club for teens meets the fourth Wednesday of every month at the Brighouse
Branch of the Richmond Public Library @ 4:00pm. Starting March 27th.
Teens in grades 7 -12 are welcome to
attend. Interested? Email us at teens@yourlibrary.ca
A few questions:
ReplyDelete1. Is this a continuation of this club?
2. How long will the meeting be?
3. What exactly will be happening for this book club?
4. When will the RPL's "top 10 books of 2012" be posted? :P
Hi Bendavis et al...
ReplyDeleteExcellent questions, here are the answers...
1.) No - this will be something completely different, IE it will be a monthly face-to-face club that is more structured, IE everyone reads the same book and discusses it. My intention is to have the teens in the bookclub take turns choosing the book the club reads and possibly moderating the meetings with help from me :)
2.) Most likely no longer than an hour
3.) Formal bookclub - see answer to question #1
4.) Not sure...we haven't had many responses, so a list right now would be biased, so everyone, blog your top 5 books of 2012 so we can generate a list!
Hope that helps, let me know if you have additional questions and if you are interested in signing up, the more people we get, the more fun it will be
Cool - I have something similar going at my school right now and its alot of fun
ReplyDeleteI'm really interested, but might not be able to make it all the time since I tend to be busy on Wednesdays and school for me ends at 3:50 on Wednesdays. We'll see! :P
