The Algonquin Public Library has two book clubs teens can attend!
Pages & Panels is a teen-only (grades 9-12) graphic novel book club. Meetings are held the third Wednesday of the month at 6 p.m. (except December) currently via Zoom. Registration is required because you receive a free copy of the monthly book choice to keep! Each month we read the same graphic novel together—everything from Marvel and DC to kids, fantasy, classics, and more! Current and past selections are listed below
Cozy Corner Book Club is for cozy mystery readers and is open for teens and adults, ages 14 and up. Cozy mysteries feature an amateur sleuth, more gentle content (murders occur off the page, no bad language, etc.), and lots of puns! With so many themes to choose from there is a cozy for every reader. Each month alternates with the members reading the same book or choosing a book in a theme to share. Cozy Corner meets the first Wednesday of the month at 7 p.m. currently via Zoom. More information can be found here.
