Do you love to read but just don’t know what to read next? We will gather some hot titles and you can have a 5-minute date with each. The perfect book is waiting for you. Recommended for ages 13-18.
Staff will choose 12-15 books to set out at tables for teens to read. Set a timer for 5 minutes. Teens read one book for 5 minutes, and then rotate to another table and another book for 5 minutes. Hopefully, by the end of the event, teens will find a book they want to check out. Recommended for ages 13-18.
Please note that masks/facial coverings and social distancing are recommended for all attendees at in-person events and classes. Stay home if you are sick or if you have been in close contact with a person with COVID-19. Here is more COVID-19 information.
