About the event

Geared toward kids and tweens, ages 7-12! Join us every Tuesday evening for the next chapter in our selected chapter book reading! A snack will be served.

Listening to books has serious benefits for developing readers. It helps tweens improve their pronunciation and fluency, improves focus and memory, increases attention span, builds comprehension skills, and can boost mental health by relieving stress and calming thoughts.
