The Mayor’s Book Club for Kids was officially launched on Wednesday at the Main Library!

Mayor George Heartwell

We heard stories from not one, but two, honored guests: Representative Vern Ehlers (who sported cat-in-the-hat style headgear!) and Mayor George Heartwell.

Representative Vern Ehlers

We also ate cake, drank lemonade, and made our very own READ posters to take home.

Our favorite books!

Kids, if you would like to read along with the Mayor, pick up a bookmark or poster at your favorite GRPL location or check out the official Mayor’s Book Club website. The site will be updated every month with new reading lists and quizzes related to that month’s book. Plus, the Mayor just might show up at your school! He visits one lucky classroom each month!
