Art & Audio Book Club for Teens
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM

A laid back book club that is just right for summer!

During each Art & Audio Book Club we will listen to a few short stories from an audiobook together while doing some relaxing art activities like zentangles, coloring, or paper curling. For the second half of each session we will discuss the book we heard and have some snacks. This is a great way to log some reading time and participate in a social book club without having pre-assigned reading (also. . . snacks!). 

This summer we will be listening to stories from At Midnight, edited by Dahlia Adler. This collection features fairy tale reimaginings by 14 incredibly popular and excellent YA authors, so readers will surely discover some new favorites. 

Art and Audio Book Club will meet on the following select Wednesdays, from 4-5:00 pm. 

  • June 26
  • July 10
  • July 24

Students may register for and attend any combination of the three sessions, and are encouraged to come to all three!

For students entering grades 6-12.
