Book Discussion

Thursday, December 19th, 6:00-7:00pm at the Emma Clark Library:

Teens are encouraged to read A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens in advance and attend our Book to Stage discussion of the text at the Library.  We will serve snacks, talk about the book, and discuss our favorite adaptations, and how they translated the work to a new medium.

Copies of A Christmas Carol are available in print and audiobook CD at the Library, or as an ebook or audiobook on Libby.

If you can’t make the discussion, please still join us for the stage show!
