Book Nerds Unite! Like to read and discuss? Want a free book? Join us for Teen Book Club monthly in the library’s meeting room.

Recommended for ages 13-18. Recent selections have included Deathnote, All Better Now and Scythe. Members propose and vote on upcoming selections at each book club. (You don’t have to read the book we’re discussing to come make a suggestion for the next one).

These are casual conversations to which all are invited! The first 10 registrants always receive a free copy of the book.

For the latest book selection and dates, check the library’s events calendar, social media, or the registration page at https://bit.ly/mrldteen.

REGISTER HERE for the book club! For more information, email heaster@montroselibrary.org or text (970) 275-9383.
