Clubs
Clubs are regular gatherings at the library where we read, discuss, play, and explore themes together.
BOOK CLUBS
English Book Club for the Youngest
February 6
Book: We Are Friends, In the Forest (“Biz o‘rmondagi do‘stlarmiz”) by Sue Downing.
Forest friends get to know one another and learn how to help, share, and get along. In this way, friendship and warmth turn the forest into a truly cozy and safe place.
February 20
Book: Noisy Farm (“Shovqinli ferma”) by Rod Campbell.
On the noisy farm live cows, chickens, and lambs. As they call out to one another and invite readers into their world, the book turns reading into a real adventure!
Facilitator: Iroda Oripova, preschool education specialist and library staff member.
English Book Club
We read interesting books, create our own stories, draw, play, and learn English in a creative and lively way. Through games, imagination, and connections, we immerse ourselves in the world of English vocabulary. We foster a love for speech, thinking, and reading.
The club meets twice a month.
February 1
Book: “Negative Cat”
Author: Sophie Blackall
We will познакомиться with the story of a boy living in a foster home and a cat who is kind but always hiding and refuses to play. We will observe how the characters learn to understand each other and discover the role of reading in building relationships and transforming insecurity into friendship.
February 15
Book: “The Sheep Who Hatched an Egg”
Author: Gemma Merino
We will read a touching story about Lola’s lamb and a little chick. We will reflect on the question of whether appearance is more important, or inner qualities and actions.
Facilitator: Library staff member Laziza Tursunova
GAME CLUBS
Board Games Club
We get to know a variety of board games — from simple “roll-and-move” games and cooperative adventures to strategy games that require thinking, taking risks, negotiating, and working as a team. We play, communicate, and develop important skills. The club meets weekly in Uzbek and Russian. Participants choose games from the library’s collection and are seated at 2–3 tables. During one session, a child can play 2–4 games.
