Page Turners: A Tween Book Club

Mon, Dec 7, 4:30 PM at Cheyenne. Free.

A discussion-based book club where everyone reads the same book and takes part in guided conversations that encourage critical thinking, curiosity, and different perspectives. Each meeting will also include book-inspired snacks to help bring the story to life. There is no need to check out the book, we will provide you with next month s book during each meeting. If you registered but can t make the meeting, come to the Ask Here desk on the 2nd Floor and we ll get you your copy. This month we will be reading Frizzy by Claribel Ortega Marlene loves three things: books, Her cool Tía Ruby and hanging out with her best friend Camila. But according to her mother, Paola, the only thing she needs to focus on is school and "growing up." That means straightening her hair every weekend so she could have "presentable good hair." But Marlene hates being in the salon and doesn't understand why her curls are not considered pretty by those around her. With a few hiccups, a dash of embarrassment, and the much-needed help of Camila and Tía Ruby--she slowly starts a journey to learn to appreciate and proudly wear her curly hair."
