For grades 3-8, it might be difficult to acquire the books for the club. There are many different ways to get them:
-
from the HAWPS library learning commons (check out one at a time)
-
from your public library using your Milton Library card
-
download the OVERDRIVE app and read the books for free (need Milton Library card number and/or HAWPS library number to sign in)
-
purchase them from Indigo or another book store (last resort)
