My First Book Club
On Sunday, February 16th at 1:30pm
A book club for children ages 7-9. Please register here for February's My First Book Club! The first five registrations will receive a free copy of the book. You will be contacted by email when the book is ready to pick up. We will be reading Miles Lewis: Matchmaker by Kelly Starling Lyons.
Please have your child read chapters 1-5 before coming to book club. We will read chapters 6 to the end together. Then we will have some snacks, talk about the book, and we will decorate herb pots for Valentine's Day so we can grow herbs like Miles and his community garden!
If you have questions, please direct them to khelf@pennsaukenlibrary.org.
Don't just read – engage, discuss, and be part of a community that celebrates the power of books.
