JUNE PROGRAMS

BEACH BAG BOOK CLUB
Thursday, June 18th 4:15pm
We have teamed up again with the Merrick, North Merrick and Bellmore Library to bring back the Beach Bag Book Club. We will meet three times this summer at the Merrick Library Wing on Merrick Avenue in Merrick. At each event, hosted by young adult author Jen Calonita (Secrets of My Hollywood Life series), teens will get to discuss a book pre-selected for them with not only Ms. Calonita, but with the author of the book itself. Our first book will be Sleepaway Girls by Jen Calonita. Sign up at the Adult Reference Desk. Everyone that signs up gets a beach bag to tote all of your favorite books around in this summer.
