News item published on: 2014-10-08 17:07:16

Join us Thursday, October 16, 2014, for the de Grummond Book Group. Each month we meet to discuss influential works of children's and young adult literature. At the October meeting, we will discuss _Inside Out and Back Again_ by Thanhha Lai. A novel in verse, the book was awarded the 2011 National Book Award for Young People's Literature and one of the two Newbery Honor Awards.

The de Grummond Book Group meets on the third Thursday of each month at 11:30 a.m. in the de Grummond Exhibit Room on the second floor of Cook Library (between the Library Administration office and the School of Library and Information Science). Adults interested in reading and discussing children’s literature are welcome.
