SUMMARY:No Shelf Control!
DESCRIPTION:Calling all readers ages 9-12: No Shelf Control is the place for you! Pick up a copy of “The Island of Forgotten Gods” by Victor Pineiro ahead of time and join us for tonight’s discussion. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTwelve-year-old Nico needs to escape from his feuding parents and his rejection by a New York art school. He goes to Puerto Rico to spend the summer with his grandmother and cousins there and hopefully fulfill his dream of making a fantastic documentary movie. But things take a horrific turn when they encounter the legendary chupacabra\, a cult\, and the gods who created the island. In addition to being an exciting fantasy/adventure story and a novel about personal transformation\, Victor Pineiro’s “The Island of Forgotten Gods” contains an introduction to the history\, culture\, and mythology of Puerto Rico\, the Caribbean islands\, and the Taino people who lived there for centuries before the arrival of Europeans after 1492. Fans of Rick Riordan\, any of the Rick Riordan Presents series\, mythology\, or sci-fi/fantasy will love this book! \nYou can borrow a copy of “The Island of Forgotten Gods” by Victor Pineiro\, along with a specially prepared reading guide for our group\, from the Connie Morella Library; just ask at either the Circulation Desk or Information Desk for the book for the April meeting of No Shelf Control. The book is also available in electronic format through the library’s free electronic resources: on the Libby app or mcplmd.overdrive.com as an e-book or e-audiobook; or on the Hoopla app or hoopladigital.com as an e-book or e-audiobook. mcplmd.overdrive.com. If you use an electronic version\, please contact librarian Jeff Coster (Jeffrey.Coster@montgomerycountymd.gov) to request a copy of the reading guide. He can also be contacted with any questions about the program and participant eligibility.

SUMMARY:My First Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Children in Grades K-1 can practice their reading skills through group reading\, activities & games based on beginner reader books. Each session will focus on a different theme. Caregivers must attend. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMy First Book Club is a reading program designed to provide students in grades K-1 a unique opportunity to improve literacy and language arts skills through group reading\, discussion\, and related activities. Participants should be attending kindergarten or first grade\, or the equivalent\, but do not need to know how to read independently yet. This program does not teach kids how to read but rather serves as a fun and interactive way for beginning readers to practice reading aloud\, listening to others read\, and talking about stories and characters and language arts concepts\, such as theme and setting. \nEach session will focus on 1-2 short books with related discussion\, activities\, games\, and/or crafts. You do not need to read the book(s) ahead of time! Copies of the books will be provided by the library at the event\, and everyone will have the choice to volunteer to read aloud\, including adult caregivers and the librarians. Questions and discussion topics will be carefully structured to promote skills such as reading comprehension\, word recognition\, pronunciation\, and vocabulary-building. \nMy First Book Club can serve as a transition for kids ages 5-6 who have advanced from typical library pre-school Storytimes but might not yet be ready for elementary school programs like a traditional book club. Key goals are to get them excited about reading on their own and show them how to find books and use various learning resources that are available from the library and the librarians. The program is inclusive: regardless of a child’s initial reading abilities\, the goal is to help them improve their skills and confidence by engaging with the reading materials and other kids in a supportive learning environment.

SUMMARY:Cover to Cover: Gracie Under the Waves
DESCRIPTION:Readers in Grades 2-3: Join us this month to discuss “Gracie Under the Waves” by Linda Sue Park\, a story of unexpected friendship\, adventure\, and discovery on a snorkeling vacation in the Caribbean. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGracie Kim loves snorkeling. She researches and talks her parents into booking an affordable family vacation to an island in the Caribbean Sea near the world’s second-largest coral reef. What happens to her then is a roller-coaster of thoughts and emotions\, as she experiences joy\, wonder\, pain\, disappointment\, fear\, and courage while dealing with her highly active younger brother\, Ben; a family of scientists who work in preserving and studying the reef; and the wonders and dangers of the ocean. \nJoin us for Cover to Cover on May 19 to discuss “Grace Under the Waves” by Linda Sue Park\, which you can borrow from the Circulation or Information desks at the Connie Morella Library\, along with the specially prepared reading guide. Just ask for the May book for “Cover to Cover!” You can also borrow electronic versions of the novel through the library’s free apps: as either an ebook or e-audiobook on Libby (or online at mcplmd.overdrive.com)\, or as an ebook or e-audiobook on Hoopla (or online at hoopladigital.com). If you use an electronic version\, please contact librarian Jeff Coster (jeffrey.coster@montgomerycountymd.gov) for a copy of the reading guide prepared specially for our group.

SUMMARY:Middle School Book Club: The Secret Battle of Evan Pao
DESCRIPTION:Middle School Book Club welcomes ALL readers in grades 6\, 7\, and 8 for a monthly meeting and discussion of books chosen by a librarian just for this age group and read ahead of time. Anyone ages 11-14 is welcome! \nIf you are in grades 6\, 7\, or 8 and love to read and have fun talking about books and characters\, Middle School Book Club is the place for you! Over the course of the school year\, we’ll read books with a wide range of genres—featuring characters your age and themes such as friendship\, family\, overcoming adversity\, confronting challenges\, sorting through conflicting values\, and navigating life\, school\, sports and other extracurricular activities\, other people’s expectations\, and their expanding knowledge of themselves and the world around them. We often use new books published within the last 5 years and acclaimed titles from such award programs as the Black-Eyed Susan Tapestry. Each session’s interactive discussions and hands-on activities will relate to the major topics and themes of the book in a fun and engaging way. \nEach month\, you can borrow a copy of the assigned book from the Connie Morella Library. You can also access many of the titles as e-books or e-audiobooks through the library’s free app\, Hoopla and Libby. The book for May 20 is THE SECRET BATTLE OF EVAN PAO\, by Wendy Wan-Long\, Shang. \nPlease contact children’s librarian Joe Farmarco (joseph.farmarco@montgomerycountymd.gov) with any questions about the program and participant eligibility.
