Book Groups for Kids & Teens

Join Miss Rebecca each month for our K-1st Book Club, featuring hands-on games and crafts!  Little Bookworms read and discuss a book together during the class, then do crafts and play games inspired by that month’s read.

Join Drawn to Reading, a fun graphic novel book group for 2nd–4th graders! We’ll read the first chapter of a graphic novel together followed by a fun activity. The book will be available to check out after the class. 

Are you a fan of Jeopardy? Ready to put your memory to the test? Kids in grades 3 to 6, join us once a month for the Quiz Game Book Group! Each month, we'll assign a book for you to read at home. Then we'll play a game that puts your memory of the book to the ultimate test. Please read the book in advance of this session. Come to the Library ready to follow directions, test your knowledge, and enjoy friendly competition!

Passionate readers in grades 4 to 6, join Miss Rebecca to learn how professional book reviewers talk about books. Come prepared to have a thoughtful and in-depth discussion, enjoy some pizza, and craft or play a game with your friends! 

Each month, teen leaders from LiveGirl, S.T.A.R., and New Canaan Library guide participants in discussion around a selected realistic or historical fiction book. Open to anyone in grades 5-8. All are welcome. Leaders from LiveGirl, S.T.A.R, and New Canaan Library will be on hand to guide the discussion and to help you transform ideas into actions.

Middle schoolers in grades 6-8, join us each month for a book discussion, games, and pizza. You can pick up each month's selection at the Library to read at home before the meeting. We'll also vote on the book for next month.
