Main Character Energy

Your child is invited to join a lively book club designed for kids ages 9–12 who love stories and want to feel more confident. Members dive into books together, discuss what they've read, and take part in activities that celebrate what makes each character—and each reader—special. This month, the group is exploring *How to Train Your Dragon* by Cressida Cowell, following Hiccup's journey as he discovers his own unique way to become a hero among Vikings. The club meets in person at the library's Youth Services Program Room for one hour, giving kids a chance to share ideas, make connections to the story, and have fun with peers who love reading. It's a welcoming space for readers of all confidence levels. If you're interested in registering, contact Katie Lipshultz, the library's program specialist, at 704-878-3090 ext. 3097 or by email for details about availability and any other questions.
