For the Love of Reading Book Club

EdAllies provides programming and engagement opportunities for students of all ages, including young learners, through our “For The Love Of Reading” book club. Gatherings include a read-along session with the featured author, food, and fun activities to get kids enthusiastic about reading and create the building blocks for advocacy as they explore identity, culture, and topical issues presented by local authors. Previous book club authors have included Kao Kalia Yang, Shayla Michelle, Nekima Levy Armstrong, Sheletta Brundidge, and Mercedes Yarbrough.

Our emerging reader book club serves students in grades 2-5, and meets monthly at a local library in the Twin Cities. We are always welcoming new students! Upcoming dates include:

  • Thursday, Nov. 20, Sumner Library. Featured Author: Mercedes Yarborough  (RSVP)   
  • Thursday, Dec. 18, SunRay Library. Featured Author: Crown Shepherd
  • Wednesday, Feb. 26, SunRay Library. Featured Author: TBD
  • April and June dates to be announced soon!

Sign up here to RSVP and join our mailing list to stay in the loop on future dates and events!
