Nutmeg Bookgroup Meets March 22nd
Our Kensuke's Kingdom bookgroup was a rousing success, thanks in part to the tropical fruits we all sampled. While bananas and pineapples were nothing new to most of us, the mangos were an exotic treat.
We'll discuss Half and Half by Lensey Namioka on Wednesday, March 22nd from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The bookgroup is for grades 4 to 6, and a light dinner is served. Children are expected to read the book before the discussion (otherwise, we may spoil the ending for them!) Register by calling the Library at 655-1234 x117.
