Lit Wits Summer Book Club 2026 (AGES 11-14)

ABOUT LIT WITS BOOK CLUB

For ages 11-14. Meets every other Monday from June 22 to August 17 at 5:00pm.

This book club is led by Abbe and will consist of engaging discussions about upper middle grade novels. Themes will still be age-appropriate, but may be slightly more sophisticated than those discussed in Page Turners. Mature students who enjoy thoughtful conversations will thrive in this group.

Registration is required for each child and includes five total sessions.

Questions? Please call the store to speak with our Children's Manager Abbe or email [email protected].

PARENT AGREEMENT & CODE OF CONDUCT

We need you to help your kids treat their peers, the store staff, story inventory, and all book club materials in a polite and respectful manner. Any individual who becomes disruptive to the group or store will be asked to leave. If your child is asked to leave more than one meeting they will not be allowed to return and you will not receive a refund. If this happens you may not be able to sign them up for additional book clubs in the following years. By registering your child as a participant you agree to these terms.

CODE OF CONDUCT (FOR THE KIDS)

Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Kind

1. I will treat myself, others, and materials with respect.
2. I will listen to my group members and wait patiently for my turn to talk.
3. I may not like a book and I may disagree with what is said, but I will always state my opinion in a kind and respectful way.
