Program Description

Event Description

Join us to decide whether the book really is better than the show! We'll be discussing Rick Riordan's, The Lightning Thief. After reading the book in advance of the program, we'll enjoy the TV show and snacks together, discussing similarities and differences. After registering for the program, pick up your copy of the book in the Teen Services Department to read before the program. 

For actively participating in the discussion, teens will earn a certificate for three hours of community service. 

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson learns he is a demigod, the son of a mortal woman and Poseidon, god of the sea. His mother sends him to a summer camp for demigods where he and his new friends set out on a quest to prevent a war between the gods.
