Teen Books, Chat & Chow
Informal book discussion group meets on the 4th Monday of each month from 4 pm - 5 pm. Students in 6th through 12th grade are invited to join this informal book discussion group. Each month September through May, we read a different book and discuss it. Did you think the book fantastic, so-so, or so awful you couldn’t even finish it? Come and talk about it! Snacks provided, or feel free to bring your own. You’ll love this excuse to eat in the library and have an introduction to new books.

Meet outside in the park if weather permits.
It's 1899, and to a 14-year-old Sicilian immigrant, Louisiana is a lush world full of hidden rules and tension between the Negro and white communities. He's thrilled by a 'gator hunt in the bayou, and by his powerful feelings for a sweet Negro girl. |

 Stop Pretending: What Happened When My Big Sister Went Crazy by Sonya Sones
Monday, October 25, 2010
It happens just like that, in the blink of an eye. An older sister has a mental breakdown and has to be hospitalized. A younger sister is left behind to cope with a family torn apart by grief and friends who turn their backs on her. But worst of all is the loss of her big sister, her confidante, her best friend, who has gone someplace no one can reach. |

 The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
Monday, November 22, 2010
Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a sprawling graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead. There are dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy-an ancient Indigo Man beneath the hill, a gateway to a desert leading to an abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible menace of the Sleer. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack -- who has already killed Bod's family. |
