Junior Emily Leonard created a book club called Cover to Cover that anyone is welcome to join. The club will meet outside of school until it becomes an official school club next year.
Leonard’s idea for a book club started with the mutual love of reading she shared with some of her friends.
“My friends and I were tossing around the idea of how much we like to read and wanted to start a class,” Leonard said. “Since we couldn’t create a class, we chose to start a club.”
Leonard has many goals that she hopes the club will achieve; the main goal is to attract students who enjoy reading.
“The goal is to bring together people who love to read,” Leonard said. “And read books that interest us all.”
The out-of-school club will first be reading “The Rules of Survival” by Nancy Werlin. Although the club was not approved for this school year, an informational meeting will be held at the end of this quarter and next quarter. The first meeting of the club as an actual school club will be in the first week of September next year.
