Middle School Book Club is a literary adventure for young readers eager to explore the world of books! Our club is the perfect place for students in grades 5 to 8 who love reading, discussing exciting stories, and sharing their thoughts and ideas with friends. Whether you are a voracious reader or just getting into the hobby, our club offers a welcoming, encouraging environment to grow your love for books. Talk to the Aspen Middle School librarian, Kassandra Sandev, to sign up.

Join us to discuss all things manga and graphic novel! 

This book club is for teens and tweens interested in graphic novels and manga. Discussion will be lead by youth book club leaders while we make snacks and crafts from the books. 

Join us to discuss graphic novels, snack, and complete themed activities each month at the Library!
