Teen Book Club - The Lost Library

Join the Sanibel Public Library Teen Book Club, where reading is fun and discussing the stories we read is cathartic and full of adventure. Library staff will lead the discussion with related activities and snacks. All teens and tweens are welcome to join this book club!

June's Teen Book Club Read is The Lost Library by Rebecca Stead and Wendy Mass:

When a mysterious little free library (guarded by a large orange cat) appears overnight in the small town of Martinville, eleven-year-old Evan plucks two weathered books from its shelves, never suspecting that his life is about to change.

Evan and his best friend Rafe quickly discover a link between one of the old books and a long-ago event that none of the grown-ups want to talk about. The two boys start asking questions whose answers will transform not only their own futures, but the town itself.

Told in turn by a ghost librarian named Al, an aging (but beautiful) cat named Mortimer, and Evan himself, The Lost Library is a timeless story from award-winning authors Rebecca Stead and Wendy Mass. It’s about owning your truth, choosing the life you want, and the power of a good book (and, of course, the librarian who gave it to you).
