Proud Readers is a monthly book club for tweens and teens who are looking to discover great stories, share perspectives, and find their people. From heartfelt coming-of-age stories to imaginative adventures and thought-provoking contemporary fiction, each month brings a new book and a new opportunity to connect with fellow readers.

Whether you’re a lifelong bookworm or just looking for something new to read, Proud Readers is a welcoming space to explore stories, share your thoughts, and hear different perspectives.

Why Join a Book Club?
Being part of a book club isn’t just about reading books. It’s about sharing your thoughts, discovering new perspectives, and connecting with other people who enjoy a good story. When you join Proud Readers, you’ll:

  • Discover new stories: Explore books you might not pick up on your own and find your next favorite read.
  • Share perspectives: Talk about characters, themes, and ideas while hearing how other readers experienced the same story.
  • Find your people: Meet other tweens and teens who love books, conversation, and discovering new things.
  • Build your reading list: Each month’s selection is another great book to add to your reading life.
  • Have fun: Enjoy good books, lively conversations, and a welcoming place to be yourself.

Join Us for the Next Meeting! Proud Readers meets monthly on the first Thursday of the month from 6:15-7:15PM at the Morris Area Public Library.
