Middletown Thrall Library's Youth Services Dept. presents...
Middle Grade Family Book Club
Wednesday, February 26, 2025, 5:30 pm
in the Storytime Room
Please join us as we discuss Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures by Kate DiCamillo
Open to students ages 8-12 and their parent/guardian.
Registration is required.
Please
register online at thrall.org/ecal
Copies of the book will be available in the Children's Room, and
eBook/eAudiobook versions are available through Libby and Hoopla.
From the publisher: It begins, as the best superhero stories do, with a tragic accident that has unexpected consequences. The squirrel never saw the vacuum cleaner coming, but self-described cynic Flora Belle Buckman, who has read every issue of the comic book Terrible Things Can Happen to You!, is the just the right person to step in and save him. What neither can predict is that Ulysses (the squirrel) has been born anew, with powers of strength, flight, and misspelled poetry — and that Flora will be changed too, as she discovers the possibility of hope and the promise of a capacious heart.

Teen Book Club
Friday, January 17, 2025, 4 - 5 pm
in our Story Time Room
The first teen book club book for 2025 is The Field Guide to the North American Teenager by Ben Phillipe.
About the book: "Meet Norris Kaplan. As a Black French Canadian who has been recently plunked into Austin, Texas, he is not happy. Norris's superpower has always been the ability to wield a sharp comeback and keep people at a safe distance. He'll do just his time there until he can finally go back home. Having grown up on a steady diet of American TV, Norris knows just what to expect when he starts at a prototypical American high school. Against all odds, though, he finds himself with a love interest, a new potential best friend, and what appears to be a budding ice hockey team. Will he give in and start living his life and maybe even (groan) enjoy it? Or will he blow it all by being . . . well, Norris?"
Copies of the book will be available at Circulation as well as via Libby.
For ages 12-18. Snacks will be provided!
Registration required. Please sign up at thrall.org/ecal
Participants may also choose to bring suggestions for future book club books. Any questions? Please contact Theresa Zacek at t.zacek@rcls.org or 1-845-341-5490.

So when their reclusive, curmudgeonly landlord decides not to renew their lease, the five siblings have eleven days to do whatever it takes to stay in their beloved home and convince the dreaded Beiderman just how wonderful they are. And all is fair in love and war when it comes to keeping their home.
