\nIf you are in grades 6\, 7\, or 8 and lov e to read and have fun talking about books and characters\, Middle School Book Club is the place for you! Over the course of the school year\, we&rs quo\;ll read books with a wide range of genres&mdash\;featuring characters your age and themes such as friendship\, family\, overcoming adversity\, confronting challenges\, sorting through conflicting values\, and navigati ng life\, school\, sports and other extracurricular activities\, other peo ple&rsquo\;s expectations\, and their expanding knowledge of themselves an d the world around them. We often use new books published within the last 5 years and acclaimed titles from such award programs as the Black-Eyed Su san Tapestry. Each session&rsquo\;s interactive discussions and hands-on a ctivities will relate to the major topics and themes of the book in a fun and engaging way.
\nEach month\, you can borrow a copy of the assign ed book from the Connie Morella Library. You can also access many of the t itles as e-books or e-audiobooks through the library&rsquo\;s free app\, H oopla and Libby.
