Activity Room 1

Join our romance book club where we'll read different romance genres. As long as it has a Happily Ever After, it’s fair game. Children are welcome to play or partake in an activity while we discuss.

We will be discussing "Annie Bot" by Sierra Breer. Annie is human in every way that matters. She is the perfect girlfriend. She has dinner ready for Doug every night, wears the outfits he buys for her, and caters to his every whim. Maybe her cleaning isn’t always good enough, but she’s trying really hard.
