Totally Tweens! Graphic Novel Club

Totally Tweens! Graphic Novel Club meets at the Salt Lake City Public Library, Marmalade Branch on Wednesday, October 21, from 4 PM to 5 PM. It's a monthly club run by the library, and this session is aimed at readers in 3rd through 6th grade. If you've got a kid in that age range who's into graphic novels, this is exactly the kind of thing they'll get a kick out of.

Each meeting is built around a single graphic novel. The group reads it together, and the hour is spent talking it through with other kids their own age. It's not just a discussion, either—they round out the session with snacks, crafts, and trivia, so there's a good mix of hanging out and actually digging into the book. And if your kid ends up loving the one they're discussing, they can borrow their own copy from the library on the way out.

It's a low-pressure way to get kids talking about what they're reading, and since it's a group, it turns reading into something social rather than a solo activity. If they're already into comics, it's a chance to geek out with other kids who feel the same way; if they're just starting to get into them, it's a friendly place to dive in.

It runs on the second Wednesday of every month from 4 PM to 5 PM at the Marmalade Branch, in the Multipurpose Room at 280 W 500 N, Salt Lake City, UT 84103. It's free to attend.
