Young at Heart Book Club

Middle grade books aren't just for kids! Join other kid-lit enthusiasts as we explore some of the amazing contemporary works being published for ages 8-14. These books are for the young, and the young at heart.

For April, we will be discussing The Fire, the Water, and Maudie McGinn by Sally J. Pla.

Physical copies of the book will be available at the Circulation Desk for checkout.
