We are the S9 YA Readers! Specifically, Sparkman 9 Young Adult Readers.
The mission of this book club is to inspire reading and the discussion of young adult (YA) literary works.
We will...
- Promote reading.
- Provide a positive environment for students and teachers to share their creative thoughts and interests of literary works.
- Function as an advisory group for the Library-Media Center, offering ideas regarding book selection and library programming.
