For the Love of Reading…
Chapters gave St. Benedict students special treatment when they opened their doors a little early for the Book Club members. After a brief ‘book talk’ about the latest and top selling teen fiction, students were eager to spend time wandering the aisles, perusing their favourite genres of literature, and making a purchase or two to take home with them. Then it was back to school for the afternoon.
