SUMMARY:Tween Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Tween Book Club\nTween Book Club is a monthly book club suggested for tweens ages 8-12 where we will read age-appropriate titles from all genres\, have a snack\, and do a book-related activity!\nCopies of our monthly book will be placed on hold and can be picked up from our front desk before our meeting. Most of the time they are also available on Hoopla or Libby.\nWe will take time to share thoughts on the book and chat about our general reading interests!\n\nThis month’s book is Amari and the Night Brothers by B.B. Alston:\n\n\n\n\nArtemis Fowl meets Men in Black in this exhilarating debut middle grade fantasy\, the first in a series filled with #blackgirlmagic. Perfect for fans of Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky\, the Percy Jackson series\, and Nevermoor. \nAmari Peters has never stopped believing her missing brother\, Quinton\, is alive. Not even when the police told her otherwise\, or when she got in trouble for standing up to bullies who said he was gone for good. \nSo when she finds a ticking briefcase in his closet\, containing a nomination for a summer tryout at the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs\, she’s certain the secretive organization holds the key to locating Quinton—if only she can wrap her head around the idea of magicians\, fairies\, aliens\, and other supernatural creatures all being real. \nNow she must compete for a spot against kids who’ve known about magic their whole lives. No matter how hard she tries\, Amari can’t seem to escape their intense doubt and scrutiny—especially once her supernaturally enhanced talent is deemed “illegal.” With an evil magician threatening the supernatural world\, and her own classmates thinking she’s an enemy\, Amari has never felt more alone. But if she doesn’t stick it out and pass the tryouts\, she may never find out what happened to Quinton.

DESCRIPTION:Books & Bites Book Club*\nBooks & Bites is a monthly book club that reads and discusses Adult books with teen crossover and sometimes Teen books with adult crossover. Copies of the next book are passed out and checked out at each meeting. You can also get a copy from our front desk and most of the time they are also available on Hoopla or Libby. \nThis event is intended for: Adults \nThis month’s title: “Chain-Gang All-Stars” by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah \n \nLoretta Thurwar and Hamara “Hurricane Staxxx” Stacker are the stars of Chain-Gang All-Stars\, the cornerstone of CAPE\, or Criminal Action Penal Entertainment\, a highly-popular\, highly-controversial\, profit-raising program in America’s increasingly dominant private prison industry. It’s the return of the gladiators and prisoners are competing for the ultimate prize: their freedom. In CAPE\, prisoners travel as Links in Chain-Gangs\, competing in death-matches for packed arenas with righteous protestors at the gates. Thurwar and Staxxx\, both teammates and lovers\, are the fan favorites. And if all goes well\, Thurwar will be free in just a few matches\, a fact she carries as heavily as her lethal hammer. As she prepares to leave her fellow Links\, she considers how she might help preserve their humanity\, in defiance of these so-called games\, but CAPE’s corporate owners will stop at nothing to protect their status quo and the obstacles they lay in Thurwar’s path have devastating consequences. \n*This book club is currently waitlisted.\nTo join our in-person meetings\, please fill out our waitlist form below.
