Third and Fourth Graders, along with a favorite adult, are invited to join Beebe Library's First Thursday Book Club.

Share the love of reading in your family! We will be reading some of the very best middle grade books and explore beyond the plot to seek the themes, the authors' secret purpose, and what makes each book special. Along with the discussion, there will be a craft or activity and a snack to take home that goes along with each month's book.

This month’s book: The Mighty Miss Malone by Christopher Paul Curtis. Deza Malone considers herself lucky. She has a loving family, is the best student in her class, and her teacher believes she is on the pathway to a wonderful future. But, the Great Depression has hit her town of Gary, Indiana hard. Her father lost his job, and when her mother also loses hers, her dad set off to find work in Flint, Michigan. After losing contact with her father, Deza, her mom and brother, set out to find him.  Hardship abound, but Deza is committed to bringing her family together again.

Registration opens the morning of the previous book club at 9am. Please register adult and child who will attend.
