For this quarter’s selection, we will be reading Bee Season by Myla Goldberg. This novel follows Eliza Naumann, a seemingly unremarkable fifth grader who becomes a spelling bee prodigy. As Eliza's talent rises to prominence, the Naumann family's fragile dynamic begins to unravel. Her success sets off a chain of events that affects each family member, revealing hidden obsessions and spiritual quests. While supplies last, books will be available for check out at the Advanced Learning Library starting April 13, 2026. For more information on how to check out a reserved copy, call 316-261-8500. 

This program was made possible with support by the Wichita Library Foundation and the Friends of the Wichita Public Library.
