Young Readers Club: Group 1 (Saturdays, Ages 10–12)

Join our Young Readers Club, a fun and friendly book group, running from the winter to spring school holidays. Enjoy reading three great books and meeting fellow young readers at Campbelltown Library.

How the Young Readers Club works:

Each session features engaging discussion questions to spark conversation and help participants share their thoughts about the books. Alongside lively chats, we’ll have themed activities and games to keep things interactive and fun.

This book club is a great way for young readers to build confidence, connect with peers, and develop a deeper love of reading—all in a relaxed and supportive environment.
