How can I participate in the Lunch book club?
Beginning in September, the library will host a brown-bag book club. All staff and students are welcome. Bring your sack lunch and book (if you have one) to the library. Dessert will be provided. We will meet all lunch periods so that all individuals can participate. This year we will be focusing on the Abe Nominee books. Each month we will feature two of this year’s book nominees. You must have read at least one of the month’s designated books prior to the meeting. We will also be featuring a book club wiki where members are asked to participate weekly on the topic of the week and also where we can continue discussion of the books if time runs out at our lunch meeting. If you are interested in joining, please see Mrs. Malm in the library for your wiki login. Below are the dates…
