• TEEN ZOOM Book Talk with Mr. Austin
     
    Do you love to read? Do you love to talk? I love to do both, and I’m looking to start up a ZOOM book club this Summer at Bridgeview Public Library!

    This club will be for our patrons ages (12-14yrs) covering grades (6-8 grade).

    BUT….I would like to know what YOU would like to read & discuss!
     Go to the teen page under THINGS TO DO tab. I will have books listed that have peaked my interest, but I want YOU to choose the book that has peaked your interest! Once you’ve chosen a book or two, shoot me an email at apierce@bridgeviewlibrary.org and let me know your choices!

    Once I have enough feedback, I’ll email interested patrons the selected book(s) and book club dates.

    Thanks for your feedback!
    Mr. Austin @ Youth Services
