Teen Book Club

Join the Teen Book Club!

Open to students from grades 6 through 12. Meets once a month during the school year, every two weeks in the summer. The group decides which book to read for each meeting, and books are purchased for those teens who attend the previous meetings. Library copies are held for everyone else. Call Jacki at 415-789-2665, ext. 238 or email her at jschafer@thelibrary.info if you would like to join the club.

Next meeting: Tues., July 27, from 4-5 pm
Book: The Outsiders, by S. E. Hinton (We'll talk about this one at the Aug. 10th meeting)

Summer Meeting Schedule:
