Once Upon a Book Club
Second Saturdays
Once upon a time, there was a very fantastical book club for teens and their adults…
Join us to discuss retellings of classic tales on the second Saturday of every month! Each month, we’ll provide a curated lists of books based on a particular well-known story to inspire and guide the discussion; check the link below or visit us in person for the full list. Read whichever book(s!) from the list that you like, and hang out with us during the book club to share your most (and least) favorite parts of each story.
This in-person event is for Teen Republic patrons (grades 6-12), free of charge. Adults (18+) may join if accompanied by a participating teen.

These Cons are Pros.
Watch clever con artists steal the show during our Ocean’s 8 (2018, PG-13) movie night. (Seriously, though, we're a library. It's so easy to get a card and freely borrow all of our books, games, and movies - no thievery required.)

All participants will receive a free signed poster of one of Albert’s creations as a special gift for joining him in this creative art making session.
