Meet the newest American Girl, Maryellen, at Mentor Public Library

Kids can come to a sock hop with the newest American Girl, Maryellen, on Jan. 23 at Mentor Public Library.

We love the American Girl books so much at Mentor Public Library that we have a book club dedicated to them.

So it's only natural that we'd have a special program for the newest American Girl, Maryellen.

Maryellen’s a 1950s girl who follows her heart instead of the crowd; so we're throwing her a sock hop on Saturday, Jan. 23, at our Main Branch. There’ll be crafts, games and fun!

Our Meet Maryellen party is open to kids from six to 12 years old. You don’t need to be a member of our American Girl Book Club to come to the party. Of course, you can totally join the book club too, if you want!

Our American Girl Book Club meets on the first Wednesday of each month to discuss a different American Girl book and make a new craft.

Our next meeting is 4 p.m. on Feb. 3 in the children’s section of our Main Branch on Mentor Avenue. The girls will be meeting Felicity.

You can register your child for the book club on our web site or by calling (440) 255-8811 ext. 221.

See you at the party and feel free to bring your doll.
