What kinds of books will my child be reading?
We select wholesome, age-appropriate literature from a variety of different genres. Book lengths are chosen to make the reading time manageable between meetings. Although most of our books are not overtly Christian, they contain biblical themes and values we explore during our discussions. We do not use books with controversial topics or inappropriate content.
How do Book Clubs work?
Book Clubs meet once a month, usually 75 min for after-school and 90 minutes for evening clubs, and includes a light snack, book discussion, and a game or activity related to the book.
You provide a snack...what about allergies?
Part of the registration process is to let us know about any food allergies in your family. We will always provide a healthy alternative when allergies conflict with our snack options. With severe allergies, we will simply avoid serving the allergen.
What do the discussions look like?
From a literary perspective, children will learn about things like character development, plot, themes, etc. From a worldview perspective, we will discuss biblical themes within the books depending upon their content. Themes that are common in the books we select include things like forgiveness, kindness, gratitude, redemption, friendship, bravery, loyalty, honesty, etc.
How much does this cost?
The first book is always FREE (limit 1 per family). Future books are ALSO provided for FREE (1 per family) IF children attend the meetings and participate in the discussions. In other words, if you sign up your child and they read the book, attend the meetings, and participate in the discussion, there is no cost. If your child cannot attend a meeting, or does not read a book that was assigned, they can still participate the next month, but you will need to get that next book yourself.
Book Clubs
What is it?
We offer Book Clubs in both the summer and during the school year as well. At LSM we choose books that are wholesome and family friendly for you to read aloud to your kids, or for your child to read by themselves.

School
Book Club!
These Book Clubs are for students 3rd - 8th grade (and parents, if desired) and meet either after school or in the evening. They feature a guided discussion about the selected book, snacks, and a related craft or game!
If students keep up with the timeline of the program (1 book every 4-5 weeks), we will give them the next book for FREE as well! Otherwise, you are welcome to check-out the selected books from the library or purchase them yourself, and request the information via email when you are ready.
Reading is great, but getting outside and learning about God in a Christian setting is just as important! Those who faithfully participate in the program will receive discounts redeemable at one of our partnering camps, or CBM LSM's own Day Camp or Adventure Camp!
CAMP!
Yep...
there's a bonus!
