The Lewiston City Library’s Youth Services department has put together six new book club kits especially for tweens and teens! Each kit contains discussion questions and six copies of the featured title. Book clubs are a great way for teen and tween groups to engage in conversation, increase reading comprehension, and make new friends. These kits are perfect for homeschool groups or friends just wanting to get together to read and talk about a great book!
