The library is starting a new club, a book club. We have decided to call it Books & Brunch. For the very first meeting of Books & Brunch we will meet on Thursday, September 19th at 11:00 AM. The library will offer coffee, tea or cappuccino. someone from the club will bring some type of food. For the first meeting I think it’s breakfast casserole. Dorothy Welch will be the moderator for this club.

It was decided to have everyone read one of the new Kansas Notable books for the first meeting. then at each meeting we can decide what to read next, and what to eat at the next meeting!

come and join us!…

After the game we had drinks and popcorn for everyone. The at the end we handed out the prize bags.

There were 17 kids ages 6 to 11 signed up.

We even had 8 12 to 17 years olds.
