BookSeekers!
What is BookSeekers?
BookSeekers is a FREE library book club for 9 to 12 year olds that meets once a month to discuss books and do fun activities and challenges.
What is the idea behind BookSeekers?
BookSeekers encourages young readers to step out and try new genres of books that they wouldn't normally read (but may find out that they like!).
When is Bookseekers held?
At Brooklyn, Bookseekers is on the second Tuesday of every month from 4-5pm.Dates when it will be held in 2011: Aug 9, Sep 13, Oct 11, Nov 8, Dec 13.
How do they achieve this?
Each month they are set the task of reading one book from a different category, eg. fantasy, adventure, graphic novels or history. Then they rate the book and talk about it to the group. The challenge is to have read a book from 10 different genres by the end of the year.
So how can my son or daughter join?
Come into Brooklyn Library, or one of our other BookSeeker libraries, fill in a joining form and make sure either you, the parent, or a caregiver sign it. You will need to bring your child's library card with you as well.
