Our first book club meeting was a success with 21 kids attending. Even though they had less than two weeks to read the book, almost everyone had finished Harris and Me! Way to go!
The group had a great discussion about the book and played some fun games. Lucky winners received some crazy Christmas prizes. We ended the night with snacks and a vote of what books we wanted to read next. The ballots have been counted... you will find out the results at the next meeting.
We also passed out copies of our next book, Chains, by Laurie Halse Anderson. You can check out its book trailer and book review (written by yours truly) below. If you missed the meeting (and have a good excuse), you must contact me at the library (I work Thursday and Friday) or just e-mail me at jill@maryvillepubliclibrary.org in order to receive your copy of Chains. Mrs. Nolte will NOT have extra copies, so don't bug her about it. :)
THE NEXT MEETING IS THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 2011! WE WILL MEET FROM 4:00 UNTIL 5:30. Please let me know IN ADVANCE if you cannot make it to the meeting (please e-mail). See you then and have a Merry Christmas!
