Great Stories Club: This is a free book club for teens ages 13-18. We meet twice a month, and each month we discuss a different book. At the end of the club, participants will be able to keep the book! Sign up online (https://goo.gl/forms/P4jmBQbWCQpc4EBJ3) and join us for a time of food, fun, and books! The next book club will meet in December.

Join teen advisory board

Attention all teens! Do you have ideas for programs and events at the library and want to help implement them? Do you want to influence the Young Adult collection at the library? Do you want to meet new people?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are welcome to join the free Joeten-Kiyu Public Library teen advisory board.

Why join the TAB? Besides making new friends, members will have the opportunity to brainstorm new and interesting programs and events for the library, as well as influence what the library purchases for the teen section! TAB members will meet regularly each month to socialize, brainstorm ideas, and eat snacks! Teens going into grades 7th-12th are invited to submit an application to join the TAB.

For more information or to ask questions, call the library at 235-READ and ask for Emily, or email her at emily.jkpl@gmail.com.
