Our library team is organizing a series of lunchtime book clubs <https://forms.gle/kDxVArhPxeXCnKwV8> that students and staff can join to engage with these incredible books together and prepare for each author’s visit. Our first meeting to chat about Cemetery Boys will be on Wednesday, March 24th from 11:30 - 12:15pm. BPL has also graciously gifted us a set of books for the first 30 students who register to take home!
