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.

SUMMARY:No Shelf Control: "The Lost Library"
DESCRIPTION:Calling all readers in grades 4-6! No Shelf Control is a book discussion & activity group just for students age 9-12. This month we’ll discuss “The Lost Library” by Rebecca Stead and Wendy Mass. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvan and his best friend\, Rafe\, spend the summer after fifth grade trying to find out the story behind the sudden appearance of little free library—guarded by a big orange cat named Mortimer—in front of the building that used to be the town’s library before something happened that no one will talk about. “The Lost Library” by award-winning and critically-acclaimed children’s chapter book authors Rebecca Stead and Wendy Mass features a little bit of mystery\, a lot of curiosity\, some local history\, a bit of fantasy\, and a great friendship. It should provide plenty of material for a great discussion and some fun activities in this month’s meeting of No Shelf Control! \nYou can borrow a copy of the book\, 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 November meeting of No Shelf Control.
