Virtual Book Club: Young Cam Jansen and the Ice Skate Mystery for grades K-3

ALL AGES VIRTUAL BOOK CLUBS!

Instead of having in-library parties, we’re doing virtual do-it-at-home book clubs for all ages! The best part? Everyone who participates gets to keep the book!

There are four age categories: grades K-3, grades 3-5, grades 5-8, and grades 9-12. There’s some overlap so you can choose which book you’d prefer to read. Every book will come with links to explore, a blank review form, a few questions you can think about, and some activities that tie into the book.
