Youth Book Clubs at the Library
Prescott Public Library has book clubs for kids in kindergarten through high school! Beginning Aug. 1, youth can register for a book club suited to their age. Youth librarians strive to select a delightful variety of literature that will stimulate the joy of reading, broaden perspectives and build community among participants. Book clubs meet monthly, and every registered participant will receive his or her own copies of books to be discussed. The Friends of Prescott Public Library generously provide funding for these books.
