Teen Book Club Basics: Teens pick up free copy of the selected book at the Children's Desk at the Library. Read the book on your own then meet to discuss the book, watch the movie, and enjoy pizza (generously supplied by the Friends of the Library) on a Saturday to be announced starting at 5:30 pm. Questions? Call Shannan at 378-2798.

| In March, the Teen Book Club chose to read and watch Stardust in which Tristran Thorn falls in love with the prettiest girl in town and makes her a foolish promise: he says he'll go find the falling star they both watched streak across the night sky. His adventures in the magical land of Faerie will keep you turning pages as fast as you
can -- he and the star escape evil old witches, deadly clutching trees, goblin
press-gangs, and the scheming sons of the dead Lord of Stormhold. Check out the book and the dvd from the Library today! |
