Readers are invited to munch pizza, write reviews, and talk about books at our informal monthly meetings. Members help the teen librarian decide which books to buy for the library, contribute book reviews to the Teen Book Blog (www.cpltbb.wordpress.com), and have the opportunity to appear on the “report from the Teen Book Board” segment of the CPL Podcast.
