About Book Discussion Groups:

Book Discussion Groups are open to all! There will be a copy of these titles on the list on the desk at the Book Exchange for readers to check out by writing their name and date on a pad. We would like to have them available for anyone who wants to read them, so please bring them back as soon as you have read them so others can enjoy them! If you have an extra copy, please bring it to the BX to share. 

About Carolina Explorers Adventures in Nature: 

Carolina Explorers “Adventures in Nature” is a fun and FREE hands-on program for ages 8-12 (grades 3-6). Certified NC Environmental Educator and Blue Ridge Naturalist Tamara Randolph leads participants in learning about plants, animals, fungi, rocks, weather and other cool things in nature that make this area such an amazing place to explore! For each session we will have a different theme. Parents can bring their children to the Book Exchange at 1 p.m. and pick them up at 4 p.m. We will also spend time outside at Tate-Evans Park exploring along the greenway. Please register your child by emailing tamara@NCexplorers.com, or texting/calling 828-406-8187. Each session is limited to 10 participants. Learn more at www.NCexplorers.com.
