• Okutopya Reading Log Notebook where for each book read, the member gets a stamp during his or her visit.

• At the end of the year, a member receives a Certified Book Lover Certificate

Membership Terms:

• Members are expected to return the barrowed books in 15 days time.

• You can become a month-to-month or a yearly member.

• For monthly members, monthly membership fee is charged to your credit card.  

Book Club Meetings:

‘We do not know what we read until we talk about it,’ a third grade student said.

In the book club meetings that we ‘gossip’ about the book, share our ideas, our likes, dislikes, puzzles about the story and make connections to our own lives.  

Two weeks before the book club meeting date, we share the book of the month, suggested activity list.
