Our next club meeting will be Friday, February 10th at 2:30 pm. We are currently reading the novel titled, \u201cThe Book Thief\u201d by Markus Zusak. We try to pick books from differing genres as well as books that have a movie adaptation to go with them. It allows us to have a movie night when we finish the book. Movie nights entail pizza, soda, and sometimes chips. We meet in the CIL, normally on a weekend and watch the movie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Book club is a great way to meet new people that, otherwise, you wouldn\u2019t have met due to conflicting classes, groups, etc. It\u2019s not very time consuming, and it doesn\u2019t cost any money to join. Discussion times can take from half an hour up to an hour depending on what else is on the agenda. However, we are all understanding that everyone has different time schedule and availability, so we understand the need to leave early or arrive late.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Our discussions are often quite lively and tend to end with lots of laughter! It\u2019s an amazing club to be a part of and experience the joy that comes with it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>If you have any questions you can get in contact with Michelle Greene at micnelle.greene@maine.edu or contact Sully Jackson, Chenoa Jackson, or Emily Adams at sully.jackson@maine.edu, chenoa.jackson@maine.edu, emily.adams2@maine.edu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Page Turners Book Club was created in the Spring Semester of 2016.
