Austin Allies Partners With Local Bookstore For Kids Book Club
BookPeople and Austin Allies invites kids ages 8-12 for a virtual book club designed to build empathy and tackle important issues kids face.
AUSTIN, TX—Austin Allies and BookPeople have partnered to create an experience for children to build empathy through volunteering. Kids ages 8-12 are invited to take part in a virtual book club, with book selections tackling the issues our children face every day — from struggles with school to bullying and learning to love and accept themselves and other just as they are.
Scheduled Saturday, Feb. 20 at 12:30 p.m. via Zoom, the book club will meet online to discuss Lynn Kelly's Song For a Whale. Click the book title to order curbside pickup from our Book Club partner, BookPeople! Interested participants may register for the meeting at February Kids’ Book Club.
The Book Club meets monthly every 3rd Saturday, however, will remain virtual until it is safe to meet in person at BookPeople once again. For more information, including registration link click HERE.
