SUMMARY:September's Cover to Cover! A Book Club for Grades 2-3
DESCRIPTION:Cover to Cover is a NEW monthly reading\, discussion & activity group for students in grades 2-3. We’ll start by reading “Third Grade Angels” by Jerry Spinelli\, about an unusual school competition. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat would happen if every student tried to be the nicest\, kindest\, most well-behaved kid they could be? Find out in this very funny story of a different kind of competition to start the school year for the third graders in Mrs. Simms’ class! \nYou can borrow a copy of “Third Grade Angels” by Jerry Spinelli–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 next meeting of Cover to Cover! The book is also available in electronic formats from the library’s free services: on Hoopla as an e-book or e-audiobook; and on Overdrive of the Libby app as an e-book or e-audiobook. 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. \nCover to Cover is a brand-new monthly reading\, discussion\, and activity group created for students in 2nd and 3rd grade. Each month\, we will read a different chapter book that you can check out ahead of time from the Connie Morella Library (or read or listen to on one of our free e-book apps\, if available)\, along with a specially prepared reading guide to help you get ready for the group’s next meeting. At each session\, we’ll have an icebreaker activity and discuss the plot\, characters\, topics\, settings\, and themes of the book in a variety of different ways\, from traditional question-and-answer discussion to role plays\, think-pair-share\, fishbowl\, and more to encourage fun interaction among the participants. Then we’ll finish with an activity related to the book–for example\, a small art or craft project or interactive game–to reinforce the main themes or topics. Books will be chosen from among a variety of genres–adventure\, humor\, realistic fiction\, science-fiction\, fantasy\, mystery–with a range of diverse characters in a variety of different cultural backgrounds and life circumstances. Many of the books used will be from lists of nominees at the appropriate age-level for honors such as the Maryland Association of School Libraries’ Black-Eyed Susan Award and the Maryland Library Association’s Youth Services Division’s Blue Crab Young Reader Award. \nWe’ll start this year’s program as a hybrid of a traditional book club with a shared read-aloud component. Volunteers can practice reading out loud to their peers the first chapter of the next month’s book\, say\, or perhaps a short story or poems chosen for their suitability. This program is designed to support students transitioning from beginning readers and simple chapter books into the next challenge of longer chapter books with more complex vocabulary\, different writing styles\, and fewer pictures\, but all materials chosen for use will be in the general on-level range for 7–9-year-olds. \nLibrary Program Attendance (both virtual and in the branch) is limited to participants within the suggested age range of the program. Children attending an MCPL program under the age of 8 must be accompanied by an adult. Adults attending a program intended for children must have an accompanying child.

SUMMARY:Bethesda Reads Book Discussion Club
DESCRIPTION:Interested in joining? The Book Club meets the second Thursday of each month from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm\, meeting room 2. We’ll talk over the book “Paradise” by Abdulrazak Gurnah. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe book chosen for this month’s discussion is “Paradise” by Zanzibar-born British writer\, winner of the Nobel prize in literature 2021\, Abdulrazak Gurnah. A coming-of-age historical fiction novel that illuminates the harshness and beauty of an Africa on the brink of colonization. Sold by his father in repayment of a debt\, twelve-year-old Yusuf is thrown from his simple rural life into complexities of pre-colonial urban East Africa\, a fascinating world in which Muslim black Africans\, Christian missionaries\, and Indians from the subcontinent coexist in a fragile\, subtle social hierarchy. Then\, just as Yusuf begins to comprehend the choices required of him\, he and everyone around him must adjust to the new reality of European colonialism. Through Yusuf’s eyes\, Gurnah depicts communities at war\, trading safaris gone awry\, and the universal trials of adolescence. \nCopies of this book are available at the check out desk\, while supplies last.
