Join us at the Bayonne Public Library for a Read & Watch book club for young adults!

This two-part event will meet first on Thursday, June 11th from 6:30-8:30 pm to discuss the first volume of "Heartstopper," a graphic novel by Alice Oseman. If you have not already read the book, make sure to check it out ahead of time and bring your thoughts to share with other tweens and teens.

We will meet again on Thursday, June 25th from 6:30-8:30 pm and we will watch the first two episodes of the Heartstopper series on Netflix.

This program is for tweens and teens ages 12-18 and will take place in the Art & Music Room on the 2nd floor of the library. Snacks will be provided.

Advanced registration is recommended, but not required. Walk-ins will be accommodated if space permits.

What's the book about? Shy and softhearted Charlie Spring sits next to rugby player Nick Nelson in class one morning. A warm and intimate friendship follows, and that soon develops into something more for Charlie, who doesn't think he has a chance. But Nick is struggling with feelings of his own, and as the two grow closer and take on the ups and downs of high school, they come to understand the surprising and delightful ways in which love works.

How can you participate? Bayonne Public Library has eBook and eAudiobook copies available via hoopla as well as physical book copies. If you’d prefer to purchase your own physical copy, we recommend purchasing from The Little Boho Bookshop, our favorite local bookshop, located at 164A Broadway or online at https://thelittlebohobookshop.com/.
