Not sure what to read next? Looking for a fun after-school activity? Check out our new Middle Grade Book Club (Ages 8-12)! Each month we’ll meet to discuss a different book, play games, and eat snacks.

On November 14th we'll meet to discuss "Magnolia Wu Unfolds it All" by Chanel Miller. Call the library or log in to your MVLC account to request a copy of the book today!

                                                                                                         

"Down at the bottom of the tall buildings of New York City, Magnolia Wu sits inside her parents’ laundromat. Magnolia has pinned every lost sock from the laundromat onto a bulletin board, in hopes that customers will return to retrieve them. But no one seems to have noticed. In fact, barely anyone has noticed Magnolia at all.

What she doesn’t know is that this is about to be her most exciting summer yet. When Iris, a new friend from California arrives, they set off across the city to solve the mystery of each missing sock, asking questions in subways and delis and plant stores and pizzerias, meeting people and uncovering the unimaginable.

With each new encounter, Magnolia learns that when you’re bold enough to head into the unknown, things start falling into place."

Registration is requested (so we can plan snacks accordingly!) but drop-ins are also welcome. Caregivers are not required to stay for this program but kids should know how to get in touch with an adult should the need arise.
