Registration Required

Graphic Novel Club is a space for graphic novel lovers to come together and talk about the books they love (or hate!). Each month, we will all read the same book and meet at the library to talk about it. We'll have discussion questions to keep the conversation going, activities related to the book, and a selection of read-alikes (books recommended for fans of the book we're discussing) available to borrow.

This month, we're reading and discussing the first Babysitter's Club graphic novel!

Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey are best friends and founding members of the Baby-Sitters Club. Whatever comes up - cranky toddlers, huge dogs, scary neighbors, prank calls - you can count on them to save the day. Baby-sitting isn't always easy, and neither is dealing with strict parents, new families, fashion emergencies, and mysterious secrets. But no matter what, the BSC have what they need most: friendship.

We will have copies available to borrow in the Children's Room. If you read the book, but decide you don't like it, come to the meeting anyway! We welcome honesty; dissenting opinions make for the most interesting conversations!

Our Children's Librarian will be facilitating and supervising this discussion.
