Book and Movie Club!

Join Our Teen/Tween Book & Movie Club!

Was the Book Better?

You’ve heard it said many times before, “The book was better than the movie!” But was it really?  Read the book to find out, then join us for Book and Movie Club!  In addition to a lively discussion of the chosen book, teens will participate in themed snacks, a raffle, and watch a movie adaption together, and then discuss their opinion on the differences!
