September Book Buddies

The Book Buddies Book Club for readers in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade is back! The first meeting of the new school year will be on Monday, September 28th at 3:30pm in the Children's Program Room. Registration is required so don't forget to sign up by calling the library (401-847-8720- ext. 204), posting a comment on the blog or emailing me at cantonio@newportlibraryri.org. Everyone needs to register, even if you were in the club last year.

And now....drumroll please.....our first book will be: From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E.L. Kongisburg! A classic book from a fantastic author and the perfect way to start off the new year. Copies of From the Mixed-Up Files are available at the children's desk or through the Ocean State Libraries Catalog. Visit our website to get to the catalog or ask a librarian if you need help.

Having run away with her younger brother to live in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, twelve-year-old Claudia strives to keep things in order in their new home and to become a changed person and a heroine to herself.
