Tweens are invited to a monthly book club to listen to a graphic novel read-aloud. We’ll enjoy a 30-minute excerpt of a different book each month, and then do an activity based on the book. Plus, cookies will be served!

For our May meeting, we’ll read Raina Telgemeier’s hotly-anticipated new graphic novel, The Cartoonists Club! Makayla is bursting with ideas but doesn’t know how to make them into a story. Howard loves to draw, but he struggles to come up with ideas and his dad thinks comics are a waste of time. Lynda constantly draws in her sketchbook but keeps focusing on what she feels are mistakes, and Art simply loves being creative and is excited to try something new. They come together to form The Cartoonists Club, where kids can learn about making comics and use their creativity and imagination for their own storytelling adventures!

Plus, we’ll do a drawing for an autographed copy of the book!
