If you’re a teen who likes to think and read and discuss, please join Youth Services Librarian Mrs. O’C and Yarmouth High School librarian Ms. Roberson for the Dangerous Thinking Club. Each month we will set the next month’s topic and pick the book we’ll read.
Our next read is Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas. The book is about Yadriel, a trans boy, who summons the angry spirit of his high school’s bad boy, and agrees to help him learn how he died, thereby proving himself a brujo (witch doctor), not a bruja (witch), to his conservative family.
Meeting date: Thursday, January 20, 2022, 5PM at the Library. Masks required. Snacks will be provided.
No need to register but if you have any questions, email Jill O’Connor (joconnor@yarmouthlibrary.org) or Amy Roberson (amy_roberson@yarmouthschools.org) for more info.
