Teen Book Club
The Book Club is open to readers who are in Grades 7, 8, and 9.  We meet in the library's local history room on the first Wednesday of every month from 4:00-5:00 p.m., and once a week during the summer.  Join us to read and discuss the annual Garden State Teen Book Award nominations.  This group particularly likes snacks and madlibs!  One-time registration is required for all new members, and registration is on-going.  Like all library events, this program is completely free.  All you have to bring with you are some ideas and an open mind. 
For more information, contact the Teen Librarian.
On Wednesday, May 7 we will be discussing Terrier by Tamora Pierce
