Bring your favorite book. Bring the book you're currently reading. Bring your LEAST favorite book. Just bring a book and be ready to tell us a little bit about it! BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE! Our game is going to be “guess the book”. 1. DON’T TELL ANYONE WHICH BOOK YOU’RE BRINGING! Put your book in a bag or something before you show up. 2. Think up a few clues that you can give us so we can guess the book. 3. When it’s you’re turn give us clues one at a time and see if we can figure out your book! If you would like\, you can also bring a snack to share. Hopefully\, the snack will have something to do with the book.  (Snacks need to be individually prepackaged and clearly labeled for any allergens.) For ages 7-10. Register anytime by filling out the form\, call 222-3405\, or stop in to the Children's Desk. \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nWest Des Moines Public Library\n4000 Mills Civic Pkwy \nWest Des Moines\, IA 50265 \n (515) 222-3400 \nSee map: Google Maps \nContact Info\n Name: Youth Services Department \n Email: youthservices@wdm.iowa.gov \n Phone Number: (515) 222-3405 \n Presenter: Amy \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n Read More URL:https://dsmlife.org/event/kids-club-read-bring-your-own-book/ LOCATION:West Des Moines Public Library\, 4000 Mills Civic Pkwy West Des Moines\, IA 50265\, West Des Moines\, IA\, 50265\, United States CATEGORIES:Children ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://dsmlife.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/bring-your-own-book2.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
