Join us for the May meeting of Carm's Kids Book Club, a version of our Carm's Classics Club made just for kids ages 6 - 12! This meeting we journey to the magical land of Narnia with C.S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe!
Four adventurous siblings -- Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy -- step through a wardrobe door and into the land of Narnia, a land frozen in eternal winter and enslaved by the power of the White Witch. But when almost all hope is lost, the return of the Great Lion, Aslan, signals a great change... and a great sacrifice.
Carm's Kids Book Club is open to kids ages 6 - 12 and their parents. All participants will receive a copy of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe that they may keep. Copies are available for pickup at the Young Adult desk for participants. This is a hybrid program. You can join us in person or virtually through Zoom.
Space is limited. Registration is required to receive a copy of the book and the Zoom link. This program is brought to you by the generous funding of the Friends of C.H. Booth Library.
