Tween Summer Book Fest is a popular annual series of hang-outs for 5th through 7th graders. Our local tweens are invited to head to their local library throughout the summer to join the celebration as we read, eat, play, craft, and chat. Even better: the first 10 to sign up for Book Fest each month will receive a free copy of the book to keep!
July’s book takes a walk on the wild side with Newbery Award winning The One and Only Ivan, by Katherine Applegate. Ivan is an easygoing gorilla. He lives at the Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade with his friends Stella the elephant and Bob the dog. He is accustomed to humans watching him through the glass walls of his domain, to watching TV, and to making his own painted pictures. He hardly ever thinks about his old life in the jungle. When Ruby, a terrified baby elephant taken from her family in the wild, joins their family, change comes with her, and it’s up to Ivan to make it a change for the better.
Tween Summer Book Fest will take place at the following locations and dates:
Calvert Library Prince Frederick: Tuesday, July 15th from 6:30-8:00 pm
Calvert Library Fairview Branch: Monday, July 14th from 6:30-8:00 pm
