Abby’s Book Club is by kids, for kids, and will be a show-and-tell version of a book club!
As Abby says: “You could read at your house or at the club. Then get a piece of paper and write about the book. You can read your book for 3-4 minites. You can show and tell your book after! You can doodle when someone is talking. NO talk when someone is talking. You can pass if you want to. You can draw with: markers craylons and colored pencils blank paper or printable.”
Meets the first Tuesday from November through March. Suggested ages: 6-10.
Banned Book Club discusses a pre-selected banned book, the dangers and realities of censorship, and the importance of defending everyone’s right to read! Presented in partnership with Bath Pride and Mockingbird Bookshop. Meets every other 3rd Wednesday unless noted.
