Are you a teen with a love of reading, but can never seem to find anyone to talk about books with? Then this new club is for you!

 

Hosted by two teen volunteers from our Youth Executive League at the Library, this group aims to provide a fun and relaxed way to read what you love and make new friends in the process.

 

We'll have a different book to talk about for every meeting, but if you aren't interested in some of the selections, you're free to pick something else and talk about that instead. Plus, we'll have snacks!

 

10 library copies of the "assigned" book will be provided to participants each month. No registration required!

 

For ages 13 to 17. In order to create a learning environment appropriate for teens, age limits will be enforced.

The Georgetown Library and Georgetown Friends of the Library are very excited to welcome artist and author Timothy Musso on Saturday June 1st for two special events. Tim was born and raised on the Divide and now calls Riverside, CA his home. He is excited to share his latest creative project with the community.
Timothy Musso is an artist and naturalist who exhibits his work internationally. The themes of his artwork are inspired by remote cross-country backpacking trips around the world. It was on one of these trips in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge that he first encountered the Arctic tern. His fascination with nature, innate curiosity, and preferred medium of relief printing coalesced in the creation of his first picture book, ‘Chasing the Sun’. The book takes the reader along with a family of Arctic terns as they migrate around the world.
Join us at 11:00 am on Saturday, June 1st for a Children’s program that will include a book reading, short art demonstration, and coloring book session.
Please RSVP for this event, (530) 333-4724 Sponsored by Georgetown Friends of the Library.
