BJHS C3 Book Club
 What is this all about?
 The BJHS C3 Book Club stands for the Classic Caudill Club, because we will be reading and reviewing the 12 nominated books for the Rebecca Caudill 
 Award (members must read at least 3 to be eligible to vote). But wait - there's more. Club members will also read and review at least 3 books from  different genres, and the group will read and discuss 3 novels, beginning with the classic The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien.
 Who can join?
 Any student or faculty or staff member of Bloomington Junior High School may join the club. Club members must be willing to try new books - keep an
 open mind - and enjoy sharing books and authors they like with others.
 When?
 We will meet one day per month after school from 3:00 to 4:00. Interested club members will fill out a survey the first week to provide input as to
 their likes and dislikes (about books) and what day works best for their schedule.
 Where?
 The BJHS media center and library, of course!
 What?
 This is a tentative schedule (it may change as we go along) of what we'll do each month:
 October - Download and save the C3 club member form, fill out the online survey, learn about the club, look at and learn to use the BJ Book Reviews page, get a copy of The Hobbit, get a Caudill nominee book, learn about using Book Seer to find books, pass out the Shelfari permission form to take home.
