Who: families with children ages 10 - 13 year (parents or other adult relatives and children).

What: read a book, come together, come together to share, eat, reinforce family ties and make new friends.

When: 2nd Wednesday of the month.

Why: it's a fun way to read & share great children's books and meet new people.
