Wishtree Book Discussion Held
Although this is a short novel written for younger readers, our March book club selection is recommended for the young and old. This beautiful story by author Katherine Applegate is told through the eyes of a tree and gave us lots of talking points about friendship, community, and acceptance. Book Hoggers wrote their wishes and tied them our our own library wishtree. Leaders Lexi, Andy, and Alicia did a fantastic job with our book discussion. Remember, at our PSJA Southwest Library, "All are welcome here!" Click here for video.
Last Book Club Selections Chosen
Selecting our next read was a bit difficult this time, so two books were chosen instead of one. Readers have a choice between Divergent by Veronica Roth or Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin A. Saenz. Discussions will be held on May 2 and May 9, 2019. Happy Reading!
