Raising Boys: A Book Group For Parents at EPL

Thursday, January 30, 7:45 pm, Children's Conference Room, Main Library

In this book group for parents of boys 1-14 years old,* we read engaging children's literature featuring fully-realized boy characters and discuss the story in an effort to better understand the challenges our boys face at home and in the world. Co-led by a teen services librarian and father, and a former family systems therapist at The Family Institute at Northwestern University, this book group gives parents a chance to understand their sons better and learn strategies for giving boys the support they need to thrive.

Our December book will be Bad Boy, a memoir by Walter Dean Myers.

Please register online, at the children's desk, at the Loft desk, or by calling (847) 448-8610, and then read the book prior to our meeting (copies available at the children's desk).

If you are a two-parent household, both parents are strongly encouraged to attend. Adults only, please: no children.

*Grandparents, guardians, mentors, adult family welcome.
