Join an Online Book Club 

The Keene Public Library has a new service: a Teen Online Book Club that delivers books  electronically. Each day, Monday through Friday, the library emails subscribers a portion of a book that takes about 5-minutes to read. When you sign up choose the "Teen Club" and you'll be able to read two or three chapters from a young adult book during the week. If you like the book, you can finish the book by checking out a copy from the library. Each week the library features new books.
