Registration Required | Ages 6-8 Start the literary adventure of a lifetime with our NEW book club for newly independent readers! Book Scouts will earn read books, engage in community helper activities, and earn badges for their achievements. Our group will read a wide variety of books--from graphic novels, illustrated chapter books, and more. The group will regularly meet the second Tuesday of each month to discuss our latest book, enjoy a snack, and engage in an activity. We will also enjoy pop-up opportunities to help support the community with literacy needs. Book Scouts will receive a specialty item that will hold all of the badges they earn throughout the program. Scouts will mark off their books and activities as they complete through Beanstack. Prior to registering for this program, caregivers will need to create an account for their child in Beanstack if they do not already have an account.
