SPL offering book clubs , coding


The Swanton Public Library has announced the options for book club and storytimes this month.

The virtual book club is for grades K-12. There are four age categories.

Every book will come with a blank review form, a few questions you can think about, and a few small activities or crafts that tie into the book. Visit the library to pick up your free book and packet.

The book for grades K-3 is “Noodlehead Nightmares” by Tedd Arnold. The book for grades 3-5 is “The Princess in Black” by Shannon and Dean Hale.

The book for grades 5-8 is “Ghost: Track 1” by Jason Reynolds. The book for grades 9-12 is “Death Prefers Blondes” by Caleb Roehrig.

The library is also offering storytime kits for preschool aged children.

Every month, they pick two picture books from the website Storyline Online to showcase and put together packets to take home. The books are read by famous people and celebrities and animated using the illustrations.

The activities included will be the color game played at storytime, a handout with rhymes and web links, coloring sheets, stickers, activity sheets, an instrument, and a craft.

For Nov. 1-13, the book is “EnemyPie” by Derek Munson. From Nov. 15 – Dec. 4 the book is “Turkey Trouble” by Wendy Silvan0.

Also, the Coding Club meets Mondays and Fridays at the library. Up to five coders at a time can come in to learn some coding skills. Coding is open in October on every Monday and Wednesday from 4-5:15 p.m., except Oct. 29
