Kidspace - Zoom

Nothing pairs better with an afternoon snack than a great book! Grab a snack & a book you enjoyed & join Ms. Carrie for a ZOOM book chat. We'll share book "bites" & add new titles to our TBR lists.

**Registration for this program does not begin until December 15, 2025. Please register each child separately.**

Email address is required to receive link to ZOOM. 

There are NO MATERIALS to pick up from the library for this program.

Let's munch and chat- about our favorite books! Grab your favorite after school snack and a recent book- or two- and join Ms. Carrie for this online book chat. Ms. Carrie will share a few of her recent kid reads, and then you will be given the opportunity to share a "book bite" about a title of YOUR choice. (Books from the library or your own collection work great!) After the program, an email list of the books we discuss with be sent to all participants so that you can add the titles to your TBR (to be read) list. 

NOTE: Books recommended by participants will be random titles, but they must be appropriate for elementary students. A good rule of thumb is if it is available to check out from KidSpace, it should be appropriate for this program. The host reserves the right to eliminate titles from discussion if they do not fit this grade level requirement. If you are not sure if your book fits this category, please feel free to reach out to Ms. Carrie at crzeppa@gailborden.info before the program.

Not sure what book to share with the group? Don't want to present a book? That's OK- join us anyway!
