Family Reading Night
OLCHS Media Center. Thursday, November 29 @7 pm
Goodbye Days by Jeff Zentner
Join us for an evening book club for all members of the Spartan Family: students, staff, parents, and community members. There will be discussions and activities based around the novel.
Carver Briggs already feels responsible when his three best friends are killed in a car accident after he sent a “Where are you guys?” text message to the driver. When one friend’s grandmother suggests they pay tribute to the deceased by spending a “goodbye day” swapping stories and doing what he loved, Carver finds a cathartic way to atone for his perceived sins.

Family Reading Night is an event in conjunction with Illinois Reads, a statewide campaign to promote reading for all Illinois citizens created under the auspices of the Illinois ReadingCouncil. Illinois Reads focuses on reading in school, as well as at home. Residents across the state from Rockford to Carbondale will be partaking in upcoming family literacy nights. The culmination event is a statewide celebration of literacy on the same evening as the book club.
