Starting today, August 1st, children entering grades 1-6 can register for a Tigard Public Library Book Group. Registration closes August 31st.
The
Kids Book Club is for children in
grades 1-3 where books will be read and discussed that are written at a second grade reading level. The books chosen to read are from the 2015-16
Beverly Cleary Children's Choice Award nominee list and participants will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite book from the list while in the kids book club. The 2015 fall meeting dates are September 22, October 20, and November 17. 2016 Winter meeting dates are January 19, February 16, and March 15th.
Super Readers is for children in
grades 4-6 where they will read longer books. The 2015 fall meeting dates are September 15, October 13, November 10, and December 8. The 2016 meeting dates are January 12, February 9, March 8, and April 12.
BeTween The Lines is a NEW book discussion group for
grades 6-8. This is a great opportunity for readers of this age to discover some fantastic reads from the
2015-16 Oregon Reader's Choice Award middle school/intermediate division nominee list while enjoying snacks, games, and crafts. The fall 2015 dates are September 28, October 19, and November 16.
Please come to the children's desk at the library to register your child for one semester of their choice for their appropriate age group.
Children may only attend one semester in order to allow more children to participate in the program. All books have been generously donated by the Friends of the Tigard Public Library for each participant to keep their book.
There are a few spaces still available for the Winter Semester of Super Readers. Super Readers is for children in grades 4-6. We read and discuss one book per month, and do a fun project or activity at each meeting. Meeting dates are Tuesdays, January 12, February 9, March 8, and April 12 from 4-5 pm.
