Program Description

Event Details

Please pick up a copy of the book at the hosting branch.

Copies are available starting one month prior to the discussion, while supplies last.

"Tweens Read" is a book club just for Tweens (young teens and kids on the verge of their teen years)!

You can join by coming to McClay Library and picking up a copy of this book at the Children's Desk. (Copies will be available one month prior to the discussion, and only while supplies last.) Read the book on your own, and then come join us at the hosting branch at this specified day and time for a discussion and activities focusing on the book for this month with other tweens! At that time, you'll be able to return your copy of the book. (Have a fun time at Tweens Read? You'll be able to sign up for the next month and pick up a copy of that book at the end of the program if you like!)

This month's read: Rose Lee Carter, a thirteen-year-old African-American girl, dreams of life beyond the Mississippi cotton fields during the summer of 1955, but when Emmett Till is murdered and his killers are unjustly acquitted, Rose is torn between seeking her destiny outside of Mississippi or staying and being a part of an important movement.

This read is not available as an ebook or eaudiobook through the library.

This program is recommended for Grades 4-8.
