SUMMARY:Teen Reading Club
DESCRIPTION:Join Centralia Regional Library District’s Reading Club for teens (ages 13-17)!  \nThis club is a laid-back\, bring-your-own-reading-content type\, with snacks and activities/games.

And the more meetings you attend\, the more entries you’ll get into a prize giveaway at the end of the year! \nNovember 2024’s theme is Native American Protagonists. \nIf you would like to join\, fill out the online form or come into the Library to fill out a paper form whenever you’d like. We hope to see you there!
