Bentonville Public Library

Rotary Conference Room

New this month: 10th - 12th graders are invited to register for this book club! 7th - 9th graders now have a new book club, meeting on the 1st Wednesday of each month.

Teen Book Club is expanding!  We will offer a variety of book club options each month:

1st Wednesday: 7th - 9th grade book club

2nd Wednesday: 10th - 12th grade book club

3rd Wednesday: UnBook Club: a bookish gathering for 7th - 12th grades

**Note that all book clubs will meet together on the 2nd Wednesday of December for a book discussion & holiday party!

Our August pick for 10th - 12th grades is Young World by Soman Chainani. From the international bestselling author of the School for Good and Evil series comes a renegade thriller, about a teenager elected President of the United States, sparking a global revolution of young leaders—until one of them is murdered and he’s the prime suspect.

The first 15 participants to register will receive a free copy of the book, generously purchased by the Friends of the Library.  Additional copies are available for checkout at BPL and on the Libby app.  Questions?  Email Anna Sharon, Teen Services Librarian at asharon@bentonvillear.com
