Book Bugs Book Group

Article in Book Groups and Juvenile Fiction

Book Bugs is a book group for third through fifth grade meeting every few weeks at the Northside Library. We have snacks, discuss the book, and enjoy a related activity. It lasts for 45 minutes and is a lot of fun! Registration is required, as books are provided for the Book Bugs to keep.
