Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: Meeting

The meeting where the club discussed 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was held on May 10th. We discussed our favorite parts in the book, why we did or didn't like it, and what we thought the overall message was. We all agreed that the book wasn't meant to be over-analyzed to death as it was. It was meant to be a fun and playful read for kids, and not what most people see when they read too closely into the novel.

Winner and Book Dicussion Date.

The winner of the poll is Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. The date for the book discussion is currently Monday, May 3rd at 2:40 in the Library. If you need help getting the book, see Mrs. Konzelmann or message any of the librarians for help. This way everyone can be ready for the discussion.

Best Wishes.

Voting for a Book

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all safe with all the flooding out there. I set up the poll. The last day to vote is March 26th until 4:00 pm. That should give you plenty of time to review the selections and make a choice. Let me know if you have any problems. My e-mail is mrs.hoffies@gmail.com or you can always reach me at the library.
