Picture Books & Java Virtual Book Club

November 14, 2026: Picture Books & Java book club hosted by Margaret Mangan, Mid-Atlantic member and volcanologist writing kid-lit with grit. Virtual meet-up 10:00-11:00AM ET.

This month’s theme is Picture Book Translations. Join our read-aloud hour with give- and-take discussion of: ROSIE RUNS (Marika Maijala & Mia Spangenberg); WATERMELON POOL (Bonsoir Lune & Frances Cha); BEAR IS NEVER ALONE (Marc Veerkamp & Jeska Verstegen & Laura Watkinson). Can’t find the books in your library? No worries! We’ll screen-share Kindle versions so we can read them together.
