Grades 3 & 4 Book Club—Canceled

This program has been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. 

For April's Book Club, we will be reading Wildfire by Rodman Philbrick.

"Flames race toward Sam Castine's summer camp as evacuation buses are loading, but Sam runs back to get his phone. Suddenly, a flash of heat blasts him as pine trees explode. Now a wall of fire separates Sam from his bus, and there's only one thing to do: Run for his life. Run or die.

Lungs burning, Sam's only goal is to keep moving. Drought has made the forest a tinderbox, and Sam struggles to remember survival tricks he learned from his late father. Then, when he least expects it, he encounters Delphy, an older girl who is also lost. Their unlikely friendship grows as they join forces to find civilization.

The pace never slows, and eventually, flames surround Sam and Delphy on all sides. A powerful bond is forged that can only grow out of true hardship-as two true friends beat all odds and outwit one of the deadliest fires ever."—Goodreads


We will meet on Wednesday, April 13, at 3:30 p.m, in the meeting hall. Join us for a trivia-style bookclub battle of reading comprehension and elements of craft. To register, visit the circulation desk, email Ms. Colleen at jamlibyouth@gmail.com, or give us a call at (401) 423-7280. 


For New Book Club Members
At each session, the kids vote on a book to read together for the next month. Then, Ms. Colleen orders enough copies of that book through the Ocean State Libraries consortium. You pick up the book at the library (usually a week after the last book club). Please finish the book before our meeting. Books are never due before Book Club. Please reach out with any questions.
