Kids Corner Book Club

On the first Wednesday of every month, librarian Joe Hilton of the Free Library of Philadelphia will join us to talk books - and he will also announce that month's selection for the Kids Corner Book Club. You then have one month to read the book and share your review! You can submit your review below or just call during the next Bookmobile segment to share your thoughts on our monthly selection in the Kids Corner Book Club!

And be sure to visit the Kids Corner Bookmobile for more great reading suggestions!
