Programs

Independent readers in grades 4-6 are invited to join our Children’s Librarians for this monthly club. Enjoy talking about novels with other readers your age, playing games, and more. Kids’ book club meets on the third Thursday of each month from September through April.

In December, we’ll be talking about the graphic novel adaptation of The Crossover by Kwame Alexander.  Limited free copies of the book are available while supplies last. Advance registration required; please call 343-6118 or stop by the Children’s Room to sign up.

DECEMBER’S SELECTION: TBA

The movie group meets in the evening once a month on the third Tuesday to watch a new movie at the AMC Showplace. The group sees movies based on books or otherwise connected to literature whenever possible.

A discussion at Culver’s on Henderson Street follows. Movie titles and times are announced about one week in advance, when the theater posts its upcoming schedule.

Send an email to reference@galesburglibrary.org to be added to the Movie Club’s email distribution list. Newcomers are always welcome! If you let library staff know in advance that you are attending for the first time, we’ll keep an eye out for you. Both the movie and the restaurant are pay-your-own-way.

DECEMBER’S SELECTION: The Book of Boba Fett

Boba Fett has intrigued us since he first appeared in the Star Wars universe. This December he gets his own live-action TV series on the Disney+ streaming service.

The Book of Boba Fett premieres on Disney+ on December 29. Watch at home and then join a virtual discussion on Facebook in the GPL Online Discussion group. You will need to join the GPL Online Discussion group to participate in the discussion. Questions will be posted in the group starting at 7:00 pm.
