About the Program
Have you ever read an amazing book that you just have to tell everyone about? Or maybe you’ve come across a book that wasn’t your cup of tea, and you need to vent about it? Either way, this book club is for you! Unlike traditional book clubs, there’s no required reading here. Just bring your love (or frustration) for books and join other teens to chat, sip hot cocoa, and enjoy some snacks.
