Parent Volunteers are needed for the WCMS READS Events!
The WCMS Library will again be hosting its WCMS READS Eventsonce each month in the WCMS Library at 2:15. This event is an opportunity for students and volunteers to get together for book discussion, food and fun! Students and volunteers will select a book from a list (see below) to read on their own, and then will meet with others who have read the same book. The WCMS Library will provide the books, refreshments and some general discussion questions. Volunteers may wish to create their own questions. Volunteers can participate when convenient and are not required to attend every session, though they are certainly welcome to! Each month, a new group of students will be selected to participate.
Please contact Kathleen Mook, WCMS Librarian, at if you would be interested in leading a discussiongroup and which title(s) you prefer. All volunteers must complete the required background check. Please let me know what days of the week you are available.
Hope to see you there!
