The Glover Book Club (GBC) is a free program run by volunteers with support from school staff. We meet every Wednesday from 8-8:45am in the Glover Library. The GBC is open to all Glover students, though we will specify the recommended grade(s) based on the selected books and planned activities. Sign your student up for whichever books pique their interest!
In addition to reading great books, having thoughtful conversations, and doing fun activities, we will sometimes get to meet the author/illustrator of the books we select.
Siblings of GBC readers who are not participating in that week's activities may join our non-reader group for independent, supervised activities.
Continue reading below to find out about our upcoming book selections, sign up your student(s), learn where you can buy or borrow these books, and join us as a volunteer.
