Book club to resume meetings with new selections
The Book Club will meet again beginning Jan 20. in the library during both lunches and is open to any student wanting to join.
The club, which is run by community volunteer and Canyon Book Club member Chris Ferguson, generally meets three times a month on Tuesdays or Thursdays to discuss a selected book. Students can bring their lunch to eat during the period. Students who have first lunch will read “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” by John Boyne and students who have second lunch will read “The Naturals” by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. Any interested students can pick up a book in the library.
“I play tennis with Chris, and she is always reading really neat selections,” librarian Ceneé Precure said. “I asked her if she would ever be interested in coming and working with some of my high school students to do a book club, and she jumped right on it. She’s very gracious and loves working with kids.”
Precure said Ferguson plans the meetings around the students’ schedules and understands students already have requirements with school.
“She doesn’t have any pressure on the kids as far as that they have to have this much read by the time they met,” Precure said. “If someone is sitting at lunch and they think they might want to do it, they should come and join whether they have read the book or not. I think the club is successful if we have two kids or if we have 12.”
