Youth Book Club (grades 3-5)ish
04/01/24 @ 4:15pm – 04/01/24 @ 5:15pm Discovery Room Winfield Public Library Youth, grades 3-5, have an opportunity to tackle the Winfield Public Library’s 2024 Reading Challenge together! April’s challenge is to read “a bestseller in a genre you don’t normally read.” We thought April would be the perfect month to read the instant bestseller by Alan Gratz, Two Degrees. Wildfires, hungry bears, hurricanes… this climate change survival novel is an action-packed page-turner. We meet every Monday after school from 4:15 pm-5:15 pm and read the book together each week. Youth may pop in and join us at ANY TIME! Attendance of the club meetings is not required to participate.
