Program Description

Event Description

Join the Teen Services Librarians for a monthly book club where we play games, eat snacks, and talk about awesome books! This month, we'll discuss:

El Deafo by Cece Bell

In this graphic novel memoir, author/cartoonist Cece Bell depicts her hearing loss at a young age and the friends, family and assistive technology that helped her adjust. When Cece is given the Phonic Ear, a powerful hearing aid, it helps her hearing, but isolates her from her peers. What follows are a series of both funny and frustrating events, as Cece embarks on a journey to harness the power of the Phonic Ear and find true friends who accept her as she is. Attendees who read the book and participate in the group book review at the program will receive 3 hours of community service.
