We are so excited to offer a family book club! Kids in grades 3-7 and their caregiver will read the same book, and we will meet on January 22nd at 5:30 pm to discuss! 

This month's book is Holes by Louis Sachar.

 Here's a short summary courtesy of the publisher:  Winner of the Newbery Medal as well as the National Book Award, Holes is a New York Times Bestseller and one of the strongest- selling middle- grade books to ever hit shelves!

Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnatses. Now, Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys' detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the boys build character by spending all day, every day digging holes exactly five feet wide and five feet deep. There is no lake at Camp Green Lake. But there are an awful lot of holes. 

It doesn't take long for Stanley to realize there's more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is looking for something. But what could be buried under a dried-up lake? Stanley tries to dig up the truth in the inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment- and redemption. 

Registration is required for this event! Books can be picked up in the Children's Room!
