Burnaby Public Library wants to keep teens hooked on reading over the summer.
Young readers in grades 8 through 12 are invited to take part in the library’s Teen Book Club at the McGill branch (4595 Albert St.).
On Monday, July 16, the club will discuss Salt to the Sea, a historical read by Ruta Sepetys that follows the lives of refugees during the Second World War.
On Monday, July 30, the discussion centres around Dumplin’, by Julie Murphy, a comedy about 16-year-old Willowdean, who works to prove to everyone in her small Texas town that she’s more than just the “fat girl” as she goes to compete in a beauty pageant.
Registration for each session opens two weeks before the meeting, and each session runs from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. Check out www.bpl.bc.ca/events for details.
