Do you want to know what it’s like to be on a book selection committee? Look no further! Applications are now open for Young Readers Guild!
Young Readers Guild is a reading program designed to inspire kids ages 11-14 to read, make new friends, and find ways to connect with their community. Kids accepted into the program will meet with the committee regularly at a Pasadena Public Library location to read a selection novels and vote for their favorites. The Guild will then help plan an author event that will take place early next year. To be eligible, kids must be between the ages of 11 and 14, and live or attend a school in Pasadena. Applicants must agree to attend at least one monthly meeting on a Saturday, and must be able to read 4-5 books within a two month period.
Applications are due by Friday, July 19, 2024.
Completed applications can be submitted to any Pasadena Public Library branch, or e-mailed to Youth Services Librarian Ashley Olmsted at aolmsted@cityofpasadena.net.
