4:15-5:30p.m.
Julie Kraut will discuss Slept Away.

This program is sponsored by Merrick, N. Merrick, Bellmore and N. Bellmore libraries.
Our summer gatherings of the Beach Bag Book Club were very popular not only among local teens but between authors as well. We decided to extend this fun get-together through the fall months and invited popular authors Micol Ostow and Julie Kraut for our book discussions. Jen Calonita will host our events. There will be snacks, prizes and you can buy books too.
Meetings will all take place at the Merrick Library..
This program is open for all in grades 6-12.
