Ferndale Library Boasts Kids Book Clubs for Every Age

(Ferndale Public Library, 12/30/2011)

What could be better than reading? Sharing the reading experience! Kids in every age group from Kindergarteners to Teenagers have a book club of their very own at Ferndale Public Library. The clubs meet once a month, with discussions led by a librarian. Participants can pick up a copy of the month’s selection at the front desk of the library and check it out with their valid library card. The clubs are free and no registration is required.
