Our last Book Chat was all about International Authors! You can watch the recorded broadcast and follow along with the list of titles we mentioned.
Sign up for the September Teen Book Box for local Lewiston teen readers! Each box will contain 3 brand new books, a book-related gift, and a craft or activity on the month’s theme.

There are a limited number of boxes available each month, so be sure to register ASAP to reserve your spot! The theme for September is “Immigration Stories” – Sign up here!
