Do you love books like Dragon Masters? Mercy Watson? Press Start? Have you read the whole series and now you don’t know what to read next? Join us for our brand new Early Chapter Book Showdown.

Every month, we’ll feature a genre or theme and let YOU decide which series is the best.

Every month has a theme:

September: back to school books

October: spooky books

November: Thankful for everyone (books with diverse characters)

Please register each person (adults and children) attending the program separately. Each registration is for one person.

Please reach out to Youth Services if there are any accommodations that you or your child may need for this program. We make reasonable accommodations for every program for all abilities.
