Homeschool Book Club
Homeschool book club is back this fall! Stop by our September meeting for a get-to-know-you session and to pick up our first book. Our Chapter Chat readers (geared toward ages 5-8) will try a new first chapter book series every month, while Novel Ideas (geared toward ages 9-12) will tackle middle grade reads. At each meeting, we’ll chat about the book, play fun games, and make cool projects. Books available at the children’s desk or at the previous month’s meeting.
NOTE: January’s book club meetings will take place via Zoom. Please email Erin at tobiasze2@einetwork.net for the meeting link.
