• The Elkins Book Club is designed to promote and foster a love of reading in students. Students who are strong readers model their love of reading to their peers. Less enthusiastic readers are exposed to a variety of books and have an opportunity to read high-quality books to encourage future book selection. It also offers a safe, comforting place for lively discussions of books and provides a diverse and challenging educational experience that will enable members to become knowledgeable and skilled in various genres of literature.
