A Girl's Point of View Book Club
Girls and women at 80 Maine elementary, middle, and high schools are reading up a storm!

Heading into it's fourth year A Girl's Point of View Book Clubs provide an opportunity for girls of all levels and abilities to read the best contemporary fiction that focuses on issues many girls are facing today. See the new title lists below. Space is still availble. If you are interested in starting a club at your school please contact Meredith at 230-0170 or Mainelygirls@gmail.com. Or Find a Club in Your Area

To help support the Book Clubs, we ask that each Club donate $100 over the course of the school year.

Easy ways to do this are:
1) Mail a check to Mainely Girls:
PO Box 793 Rockport, ME 04856.
This could be money your club raises or local supporters donate. (See ideas in the facilitators handbook.)

2) Print, then fill out the invoice.
Attach completed invoice to a purchase order and give it to your school.

“I'm not as shy as I was before I took part in the club; it taught me that my opinion is not dumb and my voice is actually being heard.”
