Are you a graphic novel and comic fiend, like me? Have you read a few, but still don’t know how you feel about this format? Don’t know what the fuss is all about? Whatever your answer, join me for Get Graphic a new book club. We’ll read classic, groundbreaking, alternative, and mainstream graphic novels. We can all read the same title or you can pick one of your choosing and then share your reaction to it with the group.
The choice is yours, and remember with great power comes great responsibility!

Books & Bites Book Club
Ages: Grades 9-12
When: May 6, June 3
Day/Time: First Tuesdays, 6:30-8:30pm
Are you tired of books with happy families, perfect couples, and happily ever after? There is nothing wrong with these characterizations. Many of you probably have some of these things in your lives. However, nothing goes right all the time and that is why a book can be more powerful when the perfect things are mixed in with problems. Join this discussion and share snacks as we explore current young adult literature. Title and snack recommendations are encouraged. Again, email Kelly at YoungAdultLibrarian@ptlibrary.org
