Teen Book Discussion

Come to the library and discuss the book, The Last Song by Nicolas Sparks.

Seventeen year old Veronica "Ronnie" Miller's life was turned upside-down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. Three years later, she remains angry at her parents, especially her father until her mother decides it would be in everyone's best interest if she spent the summer in Wilmington with him. This is an unforgettable story of love on many levels--first love and love between parents and children.

The library will provide the books FREE to 8 participants at each library. If you take a book and do not participate in the discussion a $5 charge for the book will be added to your library record!

This program is for middle/high school students ONLY!

When: Wednesday, September 29th - Morganton Public Library
Thursday, September 30th - Valdese Public Library
Time: 4:00p-5:00p
Pre-registration required!
