What is EMES Book Club?

EMES book club meets about 6 times a year students 4th-6th grade. Each meeting is focused on a middle grade book and they usually come from the current nominees for VT’s Golden Dome Book Award.  To come to a book club we ask that students have read or are mostly done reading the book for that meeting. Students do not need to attend every book club, they are welcome to come to any that interest them.

What do we do?

Students engage in activities connected to the book and share a special snack.

When and Where is EMES Book Club?

Book Club meets after school in the EMES library. Some of the book clubs will be for just 4th grade, some will be for 5th & 6th grade, and others will be combined.

How do students sign up and how do parents know?

About a week before a book club, students have the opportunity to sign up to come. Rory sends a message out through email to the parents/guardians of students who signed up confirming that the student has permission to stay. Please check the library website for upcoming Book Club titles and dates.

Why do we have EMES Book Club?

Book Club is an opportunity for students to engage in reading through a social event. It further supports students in reading for personal interest and in participating in a community of readers. Also...we do Book Club because it is really fun!
