FPL Literary Club for Avid Teen Readers!
We started off the year with a mystery featuring Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, "The Hound of the Baskervilles"; then read "Keeping Faith" by Jodi Picoult; and jsut finished "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie.
This month we've decided chosen to continue in our mystery genre, and since we all seemed to enjoy her style, we are going to join with the Adult Book Discussion Group for just this month in reading Agatha Christie's "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd".
Pick up your copy now at the library, and join us on
April 24th at 7pm.
The evening programs usually last a little over an hour.
(PLEASE NOTE THE TIME CHANGE)
All avid readers are welcome.
