Book Clubs
In 2012, two MVGATE parents lobbied Mill Valley's head librarian to pilot a book club just for middle schoolers who love books... It worked: the Pizza and Pages quarterly book club was a hit. It's now in its ninth year!
Now several Marin Libraries offer book clubs. Below are the ones we know about...
BUT FIRST: You don't have to live in these towns to enjoy these programs; they're open to all. But if you'd like your own library to start a kid's book club, try what we did. Show your library what other libraries are doing, then once your Club launches, MVGATE can help you publicize it to ensure it's full of book-loving kids like yours.
