📚 Blount County Library Tween Book Club
The Blount County Public Library runs a Tween Book Club that meets in the Sharon Lawson Room. My kids have loved getting book recommendations from a real librarian and meeting other readers their age.
The details: - Where: 508 N Cusick St, Maryville, TN 37804 (Sharon Lawson Room) - Email: bcpl.kids@blounttn.org to claim a spot - Ages: Tweens (roughly ages 8-12) - What to expect: Book discussions, snacks, and a librarian who actually knows what books are good
Pro tip: This is free and spots can fill up. Email ahead if you want to attend. The library even has a Pinterest account with book lists and activities that complement their programs.
If your kid is in that age range and you have no idea where to find book recommendations, this is your person. I mean, I get it—every parent is just making it up as they go. At least with a book club, you know the kid picking the books isn't me. 🙃
