Book Club
The library is excited to announce a new book club for this year. We will meet once a month after school to discuss a book, do a related activity and have a snack with the teen librarian from the Roselle Public Library. Our first meeting will be on Wednesday, September 18 from 3:30 - 4:15. We will discuss Frizzy by Claribel A. Ortega, a graphic novel and 2025 Rebecca Caudill nominee.
Marlene loves three things: books, her cool Tia Ruby and hanging out with her best friend Camila. But according to her mother, Paola, the only thing she needs to focus on is school and "growing up." That means straightening her hair every weekend so she could have "presentable", "good hair". But Marlene hates being in the salon and doesn't understand why her curls are not considered pretty by those around her. With a few hiccups, a dash of embarrassment, and the much-needed help of Camila and Tia Ruby--she slowly starts a journey to learn to appreciate and proudly wear her curly hair.
