The Ferndale Library and Affirmations co-host a social club/book club for kids in grades 4-8, meeting on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 6:00 pm in the library's program room. Registration required: click here!

This is a social hour that includes a book discussion. Each month, attendees have the chance to read and then discuss a selected book at the Reading Rainbow.

Kids don't have to have finished (or even started) the book to attend the Reading Rainbow; the rest of the hour is free time dedicated to socializing/crafting/hanging out together.

Drop-ins are always welcome! 

You can pick up a copy of this month's book at the Ferndale Library or place a hold online. 

On September 23, we'll be discussing Drama by Raina Telgemeier: Callie loves theater, and this year she's determined to create a set worthy of Broadway on a school budget. But how can she, when she doesn't know much about carpentry, ticket sales are down, and the crew members aren't working together? Not to mention the onstage and offstage drama that occurs, and when two cute brothers enter the picture!

FADL is committed to accessibility—please reach out at least 1 week in advance for accommodation requests at youth@fadl.org or 248-546-2504

Let's celebrate our talented library patrons! That's YOU! If you or anyone in your family participated in this season's Tiny Art Craft Kit Program, we'll put your mini-masterpiece on display in the library's program room on Sunday, September 28 at 2:00 pm, complete with title cards and everything! We'll even have free refreshments and live music! Come check out how creative everyone in town can be when it comes to bringing their art to life within the constraints of a 5"x5" canvas! 

Note, our Tiny Art Craft Kits were passed out on August 18! If you took one home, please return it to the library by or before September 19 in order to have your piece in our upcoming show!
