Readers Anonymous

Readers Anonymous

Explorers of the unknown story, seekers of thrills and truth, eaters of pages and covers, this club takes the plunge into the deep end of books. Who knows what we will discover! Possible riches of pages and text or steaming piles of dead words and unattractive characters. Our February book is The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau.  Read the book and join us on February 21st at 2:00 in the YA section of the Library. The Readers Anonymous Book Club is for teens (6th-12th grade) who enjoy reading YA literature. Contact Nicole at the library (855-3444) or email her (teen@pawlinglibrary.org) if you have any questions.
