Feeling overwhelmed this school year?
Take a break, read a book, and talk about it with friends and snacks!
Once a month, teens will meet to discuss a selected book. The Teen Librarian provides copies of the book while the teens take a turn each month selecting the book and leading the discussion. The three Teen book clubs are: Middle School Book Club, High School Book Club, and Teen Graphic Novel Book Club.
Registration is required! To sign-up, click on the individual book titles below OR use our calendar of events! For more information, please contact Teen Librarian Katy Wuerker at: kwuerker@ipswichlibrary.org or (978) 356-6648.
Due to everyone having very different schedules and needs, a Zoom link can be provided to those who want to participate in the discussion but cannot make it to the library.
