Young readers of Chicagoland: JOIN US for a Book Club Camp Experience!
On the scheduled dates and times, we'll gather at our New Book Joy Booktique & Reading Lounge (5512 W Devon Ave) for a 1 HOUR BOOK CHAT & PAIRED INTERACTIVE CRAFT ACTIVITY inspired by the chosen title(s)...
With each sign up, you will receive a physical copy of the featured book(s) to read before we meet in-person as a full Book Club group. Each story we choose is inspired by a rotating educational theme and is age-appropriate for each group... trust us, they'll soon become some of your family's favorite reads! (Psst... Learn more about each story by clicking on the underlined book titles in the event calendar below.)
HIGH SCHOOLERS & MIDDLE SCHOOLERS: WE'LL BE FEATURING 2 BOOKS FOR EACH DATE... PLEASE SELECT A PREFERRED TITLE FROM THE DROPDOWN MENU!
