Virtual Book Club
Our virtual do-it-at-home book clubs for all ages continue! The best part? Everyone who participates gets to keep the book!
Pick up your free book and activity packet by visiting the library. Every book will come with a blank review form, a few questions you can think about, and a small craft or activity that ties into the book. All we ask is that you read the book: do as much or as little of the rest of it as you want. No matter how much you do, the book is yours!
The books are:
- Grades 5-8: The Unexpected World of Nature by various authors and illustrators. "From mighty predators that are feared, to animals in danger, to real and imagined monsters, this graphic novel’s bold illustrations and compelling text present issues from a fresh point of view."
- Grades 9-12: I’m Nobody! Who Are You? Poems by Emily Dickinson. "A brilliant new collection of Emily Dickinson’s poetry, introduced by acclaimed author Virginia Euwer Wolff. Here are Emily Dickinson’s beautiful visions and haunting words. From the landscapes of nature to the landscapes of the mind, Dickinson captures life in all its details and desires."
We will have a post for each book on https://www.splyouth.org for anyone who wants to discuss the book or comment on any of the questions or activities. If you’d prefer not to go online, fill out the included review sheets and get them back to the library, and we can post your comments for you! Even better, everyone who either posts on our site or brings back anything included with the book – even if it’s just a picture of the craft you did – will also get a small prize at the library!
See the books for grades K-3 and 3-5.
