It's officially summer, making it the perfect season to join a book club! Do you enjoy reading spooky books, in particular?

Join us at Southwest Regional for our Summer Scares Book Club, geared towards ages 8-12! On the first Monday of every month this summer, we will discuss a spooky book and do a fun activity together! Our book selections for this summer are, as follows...

June's selection: Ravenous Things by Derrick Chow (Some copies for you to keep will be available at the children's desk, on a first come, first served basis starting May 21st!)

July's selection: Eerie Tales from the School of Screams by Graham Annable (Some copies for you to check out will be available at the children's desk, on a first come, first served basis!)

August's selection: Hide and Seeker by Daka Hermon (Some copies for you to check out will be available at the children's desk, on a first come, first served basis!)

The Horror Writers Association (HWA), in partnership with Booklist, Book Riot, iREAD, and NoveList, announces a reading list for Summer Scares every year, so we will enjoy all three of their middle grade selections together!

Registration is required.

If you have any questions, please contact us @ 919-560-8592.

2025 Summer Reading is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Durham Library Foundation and the Friends of the Durham Library.
