Books 'n Bites

Savor a snack while we speak about stories. Tuck into a tasty treat while we talk about tales.

You don't need to prepare anything in advance for Books 'n Bites. However, you're more than welcome to enjoy a tasty treat or two while we talk. And if you have a good book you'd like to share, let us know during the discussion. This month is a DAV PILKEY themed Books 'n Bites.

David Murray "Dav" Pilkey Jr. is an American cartoonist, author and illustrator of children's literature. Pilkey is best known as the author and illustrator of the children's book series Captain Underpants and the children's graphic novel series Dog Man.

Ms. Alex used to visit Sheridan Elementary School in person where she would spend the lunch hour talking about books with Ms. Zehr and students in the school library. Now, Ms. Alex is bringing Books 'n Bites to you via Zoom!

During the registration window for this program, registration can be completed online below or by calling 309.590.6155. As soon as registration is complete, you will receive an email with a link to access the online discussion.
