    When you register, you are registering for the entire season, so please register only if you are able to attend all meetings of a club. During our construction project, book clubs will be meeting in person at upstairs in the bistro area of Omar's World of Comics at 20 Waltham Street in Lexington.

    In order to allow the greatest number of children to participate in book clubs, registration is limited to one book club (excluding our specialty book club Book Talks). If you are not sure which club would be the best fit for your child, please review the below lists of titles read previously by the book clubs, or email carykids@minlib.net and we will be happy to offer some guidance as to which club would be the best fit for your child.

    • Tadpoles (Grades 1 - 2)
    • Bookmarks (Grades 2 - 3)
    • Next Chapter (Grades 3 - 4)
    • Page Turners (Grades 4 - 5)

    In order to allow the greatest amount of children to participate in our book clubs, we have implemented the following rules

    1. Participants must be able to attend all sessions in the season for which they register.  Please do not register if you have a known conflict for more than one of the dates.
    2. Due to the popularity of our clubs and the waiting lists of children wanting to participate, participants will be allowed one no show.  If your child misses a second club meeting, we will give their space to the next child on the waiting list.  We understand that illness and emergencies occur, and those absences, if communicated with staff, will not be considered a no show. If you are removed from a club due to lack of attendance, you will not be allowed to register for any club in the next session.
    3. Please be on time. Late arrivals are disruptive to the discussion and may not be admitted.
