 Hey all you zealous bookworms out there!  Want to expand your literary horizons but don’t know how?  Well look no further because Lake Hamilton is the perfect place for you.  The library this year is hosting two different book clubs to strike the fancy of any literate individual with a passion for reading. 

The Teen Reads book club is a recreational reading group where students meet to read and share ideas.  Hosted by librarian Mrs. Bush, the club takes students on a journey through three teen-oriented books, beginning with Maggie Shiefuater’s Shiver.  This increasingly popular novel documents the star-crossed, interspecies relationship of Sam and Grace while enlightening readers to the complicated inner workings of teenage love. 

New to Lake Hamilton, the YA Café is a similar club hosted by various book-loving teachers throughout the building.  It’s currently discussing the ever-popular sequel to the Hunger Games series, Mocking Jay. In this third installment, readers join protagonist Katniss Everdeen in her rebellious battles against the sadistic dictatorship controlling their society. 

Both clubs lead investigations on tones, underlying meanings, associations, or whatever students can pick out from the text.  To ensure money is no problem, the library generously supplies books to those interested.  And yes, the rumors are true--lunch passes and free water!
