World Readers -Teen Book Club - Michelle Sisk, Advisor
The Teen Book Club is a group of teens who like to read and talk about books. It meets every Wednesday from 2:20-3:30 in the library. Our bunch enjoys brownies and other snacks during the meeting. The group chooses titles from a selected list for reading/discussion and reads 1-2 books per month. Students can view the titles the Club is currently reading and other books already read by reading the bulletin board outside the library. We also consider field trips which may include going to an author signing/presentation and seeing a play. Membership is open to readers at WWHS, but is limited to a maximum of 16 participants. Please see Mrs. Sisk to find out whether there are any openings.
