Let's Talk About It: a Book Club About the World Around Us

Open to ages 11-15

"Let's Talk About It" is a book club for Middle School age tweens/teens that will focus on reading age appropriate books about the world around us. to encourage empathy and finding your own voice.

Your lived experiences give you a unique perspective on each book that you read, this book club will be a space for you to share your thoughts and opinions while also listening to other viewpoints. The titles chosen will reflect current (or recent) events to help teens increase their empathy while also finding their voice to speak up about what is happening around them as the leaders of tomorrow.

September's meeting will be a general info session to learn more about this book club, there is no assigned book. There will be some giveaways and snacks will be provided (while supplies last).

While not the main focus of this book club, the library will be honoring Banned Books Week September 22-28th. This year's theme is "Freed Between the Lines." We can find freedom in the pages of a book — but book bans and censorship threaten that freedom, along with many other rights and institutions. Let’s be Freed Between the Lines!

This book club is intended for Middle School students and is open to ages 11-15. No registration required. Parents/guardians are welcome at this first meeting. Copies of the book for October's meeting will be available to check out.
