A few days ago, I listed the titles for the High School Book Club. This week, I'd like to share what we have in store for the Junior High Teen Book Club. I found out that our group from last year, made it into the yearbook. This year should be even more fun, so watch for pictures! Right now this is what we have to look forward to:
The book club at the Dearborn Branch meets the second Tuesday of each month. Our next meeting will be September 14th, 2010 at 4 p.m. We are a congenial group and would love to have you join us.

Have you ever had the desire to join a book club but didn’t know if you would fit in? Why not give the Claycomo Branch Book Club a try?

With the way I gush and swoon and rush to get in line for autographs and photos, you’d think I was meeting the latest Hollywood heartthrob. But honestly, I think authors are the best celebrities ever. I maintain an ever-growing collection of signed books and pictures of me with my biggest, geekiest smile standing next to some super famous writers; it’s fantastic.

Ever read a good book that you can’t wait to talk to someone about, only to find out that no one you know has read it. The solution to that problem is easy. Get together with a group of your friends, and start a book club. That is what many people have done here at the Blue Springs North Branch. We have many community book clubs such as church groups, young moms, retired librarians and teachers, senior groups, mothers and daughters, or just good friends getting together once a month to discuss their favorite books.
The Raytown Branch Adult Book Group will be discussing The Watchman by Robert Crais for their October meetings. This is a mystery that finds a young rich girl, Larkin Conner Barkley, who is the target of killers after having a terrible car accident. She finds herself the sole witness in a secret federal investigation. When the U.S. Marshals and the finest security money can buy can't protect her, Larkins's wealthy family turns to the one man money can't buy-Joe Pike.
