Minor Setback
I decided that I will contact my local library to start a teen book club. I read a lot; like 12-14 books a month. I thought that maybe I could inspire others to read. Take a break from the videos, television, put down the games and cellphones and open a book that will inspire growth and broaden their horizons. Twilight and The Hunger Games has opened a lot of doors and inspired teens to start reading when I was afraid that the concept of reading was lost; people just don't find it interesting anymore and it hurts me. I gathered my courage and I went ahead and called my library and presented them with my idea. After speaking to the lady in charge of the Young Adult department and explaining to her that I wanted to volunteer my time one Saturday a month and create a book club for teens she explained that she would have to talk to her director and she would call me back. I got a call back the next day and was told that only library personnel is able to head a book club, after I felt defeated I decided this will not stop me and I called my little cousins and told them what I wanted to do and they were extremely excited and are now looking for teens that enjoy reading. I will not let this defeat me as I still plan to change the world one chapter at a time.

ReplyDeleteSounds like you are starting a personal book club! What a fantastic idea :) I hope you get it off the ground. Reading should definitely be spread around and enjoyed more. Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven
