Adventure beyond Words!

A fun, adventurous pastime, WordPlay is a book club
with a twist that encourages youth to use artistic
expression to communicate what they have learned.

Children from around the metropolitan area join
their pals and meet new friends as they gather at
local libraries to read, work and play together to
develop a passion for reading.
