Youth Book Club (grades 3-7)ish
11/25/24 @ 4:15pm – 11/25/24 @ 5:15pm Discovery Room Winfield Public Library Youth, grades 3-7, have an opportunity to tackle the Winfield Public Library’s 2024 Reading Challenge together! November’s challenge is to read “a book written before you were born.” A book written in 1961 meets this challenge requirement for us book clubbers, even for Ms. Jo!, so we are reading The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. This special book has been enjoyed by generations for its timeless wit, wisdom, and wordplay. Now it will be enjoyed by our youth book club! We meet every Monday after school from 4:15 pm-5:15 pm and read the book aloud together each week. Youth may pop in and join us at ANY TIME! Copies of the book are available at the library, and attendance at the club meetings is not required to participate.
