The Hennepin County Library offers a series of book clubs for kids this winter. I can’t help but think that Minnesota winters contribute to our state’s higher than average literacy rates and strong book community. What else is there to do besides stay indoors and read? The library offers a variety of kids’ book clubs in categories such as manga, teen guys, teen girls, girls only, and even a teen daughter-mother pairing.

The Minnesota Humanities Center also has a great site devoted to family reading programs, including info on how to start a dads and kids book club, complete with book suggestions and materials for discussion.

Happy reading!
