ADRIAN — Two new after-school clubs for ages 8-12 are starting up at the Adrian District Library. 

Each club will meet once a month. The first 20 minutes will be spent reading a short book, followed by an activity.

The new clubs are intended to give kids an after-school activity that is educational as well as fun, according to youth services librarian Jess Bruechert.

History Makers will meet from 4-5 p.m. on the first Monday of each month, except for September, when the meeting will be on Sept. 8. Each session will feature a biography of a significant person from the past. The first book will be “Drawing on Walls: A Story of Keith Haring,” by Matthew Burgess. 

Young Explorers will meet on the third Monday of each month, also from 4-5 p.m. This club will feature books and activities about science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. 

The Adrian District Library is at 143 E. Maumee St. For more information, call 517-265-2265 or go to adrian.lib.mi.us.
