In Other Worlds
Join Ben Burdick and discuss Clans of the Alphane Moon by Philip K. Dick.

But what exactly is Lord Running Clam getting out of all this?

A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE PROGRAMS
A book discussion program for students in fourth through eighth grade.
Though I'd rather not, I'm obliged to inform you of these most unhappy programs about Lemony Snicket's very sad books concerning the dreadful lives of the Baudelaire orphans. Please read at least the first two books before the first program. You would probably have a happier time watching leaves grow on trees, but if you must register you should stop in or call (216) 226-8275, ext. 140.

Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
In this book, Levitt and Dubner show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives-how people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing.
SCIENCE VS. MAGIC
A book discussion program for students in fourth through eighth grade.
Explore new worlds in six amazing fantasy and science-fiction series. We'll read the first installment of each saga to determine whether aliens are smarter than fairies, or whether genies are more powerful than Greek gods. Each title must be read by its discussion date. To register, please stop in or call (216) 228-7428.
