The Family Resource Network is once again sponsoring a book club! Check out this flyer for more information!
No assigned chapters. No pop quizzes. Just real talk and real reads.
This book club is all about their voice, their vibe, and the stories that speak to them. Whether they're into graphic novels, fantasy sagas, memoirs, or TikTok-famous thrillers, they get to choose what they read. Then, when they're ready, they bring their book into the conversation and share how it connects to their life, thoughts, or even just their mood that week.
Free books and bookish gear at our meetings! We are looking forward to meeting new students to connect with for 2025-2026. Thanks to FRN and Jessica Shaffer for sharing this with our students - 7th and 8th graders are permitted to attend.
