Description

Starting Saturday 13 March, we will be reading and discussing The Saturdays, by Elizabeth Enright. Join the librarian and other passionate readers to enjoy this timeless novel, first published in 1941. The focus is on the four Melendy children, and their Independent Saturday Afternoon Adventure Club (I.S.A.A.C.), an allowance-endowed venture formed with the goal of sending one lucky Melendy on a solo sojourn each week.

Sessions will take place three consecutive Saturday afternoons from 14h00 to 15h00: March 13th, March 20th, and March 27th. The bookclub is limited to children ages 9- 12. English fluency is required. Please sign up early to reserve a copy of your book. The price is 5 €, payable at the first session.

Wednesday story hours are drop-in and do not require registration. However, for certain special programs, events and parties, sign-up is required as space is limited. Please consult individual listings for details. Each child must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
