Books and snacks will be provided for you.  Members will vote on our Book Club name and on what book selections we will read. We will meet during the school day for engaging discussion, analysis and sharing.



Also, for the first time you can now apply for a Queens Public Library Card here in our school Library. If you have never had a Queens Public Library Card before please stop by the library with your school I.D., fill out the application, be patient and I will distribute the card to you in school.
