SUMMARY:Teen Reading Club
DESCRIPTION:Join Centralia Regional Library District’s Reading Club for teens (ages 12-18)!  \nThis club is a laid-back\, bring-your-own-reading-content type\, with snacks and activities/games. There is no required reading\, but suggestions are always given for guidance.

All reading is welcome here\, be it magazines\, fanfiction\, video game dialog\, shampoo bottle labels… whatever you like to read\, we’ll talk about it! \nAnd starting January 2024\, the more meetings you attend\, the more entries you’ll get into a prize giveaway at the end of the year! Currently\, meetings are from 2PM to 3:30PM on a Saturday each month in the upstairs Teen Room (accessible by elevator and stairs).

SUMMARY:Teen Reading Club
DESCRIPTION:Join Centralia Regional Library District’s Reading Club for teens (ages 12-18)!  \nThis club is a laid-back\, bring-your-own-reading-content type\, with snacks and activities/games.

All reading is welcome here\, be it magazines\, fanfiction\, video game dialog\, shampoo bottle labels… whatever you like to read\, we’ll talk about it! \nAnd starting January 2024\, the more meetings you attend\, the more entries you’ll get into a prize giveaway at the end of the year! Currently\, meetings are from 2PM to 3:30PM on a Saturday each month in the upstairs Teen Room (accessible by elevator and stairs).
