This club is designed for students in fourth through sixth grades.

At the Summit Branch, 1016 Summit Road, there is a new Middle School Book Club, for youth in grades six through eight, that meets on the second Wednesday at 3:30 p.m.

The 21st Century Community Learning Center at Boyd County Middle School is a partner in this project.

All local children from any school are welcome at either club.

The Tween Club (Main) will discuss the following books: Nov. 3, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O’Brien; and Dec. 1, The Last Holiday Concert by Andrew Clements.
