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 March 13th we'll meet to discuss "The Remarkable Rescue at Milkweed Meadow" by Elaine Dimopoulos. Call the library or log in to your MVLC account to request a copy of the book today!

"Butternut lives in the burrows of Milkweed Meadow with her nine rabbit brothers and sisters. Together they practice strategies for survival and tell stories. With disastrous scenarios blooming in her mind, Butternut embraces the lesson of her families’ stories: stick to your own rabbit-kind. But after befriending an incorrigible robin and a wounded deer, Butternut begins to question what she has been taught.

When the three friends discover other animals in crisis, Butternut must decide whether she can help, rally her friends and family, and be as brave as the heroes in the stories she tells."

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.
