Library to Host Mother/Daughter Book Club

Girls ages 8 to 12 and the special women in their lives are invited to attend the Tompkins County Public Library’s monthly Mother/Daughter Book Club.

Beginning September 29, the Mother/Daughter Book Club will meet once a month from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the Library’s Thaler/Howell Programming Room.

Facilitated by author and educator Emily Rhoads Johnson, the Club provides a wonderful opportunity for participants to learn about themselves and others by discussing literature in a welcoming, judgment-free environment.

• February 16—“Way Down Deep” by Ruth White
• March 16—“Sahara Special” by Esmé Raji Codell
• April 13—“The Bridge to Terabithia” by Katharine Paterson

Participants may attend one or all of the meetings.  Registration is not required, and refreshments will be served.
