This club meets to discuss their favorite books and recommendations. Adults and young adults alike are welcome. This group is led by Kayla Clark, contributor to Cityview's new book "bits & pieces." Sometimes the club has a selected book to discuss, and other months the discussion is a little more free-wheeling! Call us at 279-5400 if you are interested in becoming part of the Second Saturday group, and we'll let you know if there's assigned reading that month!

When Finn and her dog, Skeeter, set out on a hike to cure their restless feet, they literally take a step into nature. A big gooey step . . . right into scat (also known as poop). And just like the animal it comes from, scat comes in all shapes and sizes. Scat, along with foot or paw tracks, can tell a lot about the creature that produced it. As Finn's hike takes her further into the woods, she happens along scat and tracks from a variety of woodland creatures, from the hopping eastern cottonwood rabbit to the chickadees trilling up in the treetops. Pairing punchy rhyme with science writing, Lisa Morlock has created the perfect nature guide, providing detailed descriptions of the prints, diets, and behaviors of the animals whose scat Finn and Skeeter encounter on their hike. Watch your step!
In this rollicking bedtime story, a sister and brother turn getting ready for bed into a fun-filled dance routine, from swirling in bath towels to tapping toothbrushes and swaying down the hall to their room. Rebecca Janni’s rhythmic text and Tracy Dockray’s bouncy illustrations are sure to get hands clapping and the littlest of feet moving so that kids can work off a last burst of energy before sweet dreams drift in.
Unravel the hilarious mysteries of Iowa and develop your inner Iowan-ness through this new book by Iowa humorist, Dan Hunter.
