Join our super fun & informal book club for grades 7-12!

This month we're reading, Hey, Kiddo by Jarrett J. Krosoczka.

Story blurb: In kindergarten, Jarrett Krosoczka's teacher asks him to draw his family, with a mommy and a daddy. But Jarrett's family is much more complicated than that. His mom is an addict, his father is a mystery, and his grandparents thought they were through raising children until Jarrett came along. Jarrett spends his childhood trying to make sense of his non-normal life through drawing. It's only as a teenager that can Jarrett begin to piece together the truth of his family, reckoning with his mother and tracking down his father.

This program includes a Grab 'n' Go kit. Registrants will receive an email from a Teen staff member (Beth, Teresa, Jackie or Chris) during Library hours (Monday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday 10am-5pm or Tuesday & Wednesday 1pm-8pm) to schedule a Grab 'n' Go pick-up day/time while supplies last. You will also receive a separate email with the link to join our December 17th Discord discussion at 4pm. (The Discord meeting is optional!) 

Please be sure to check your spam folder if you don't hear from us within 48 hours of registering. Registration for a kit begins on 11/17. Registration can be done in-person or online. Please note: due to limited supplies, if after two attempts to reach you we are unsuccessful, we will assume you're no longer interested and will make your spot available for another interested teen. Thank you for your understanding.
