Join Science ATL in our Summer Series:

Buggin’ Out

A Family Summer Book Club

It’s summer time again! That means more time relaxing and escaping the heat with books! And we’re here to help with our Summer Book Club. This year, we’re Buggin’ Out with insects as our theme. We’ve got books for all ages, so your whole family can read together and talk beetles, bees, and butterflies! By registering for our family book club, you will receive our book club guide that includes activities, recipes, discussion questions, and additional content to explore! As a bonus, we’ll have a handful of bug-themed events throughout the summer. Register today!

Check out our book list, register for the book club, and sign up to join our summer events!

Summer Book List

We’ve pulled together an exciting list of books for every member of the family – whether you are a family of 2, 5 or 10, or even just flying solo! No need to read them all, but if you are a super-reader, go to town! Snag whatever books you are interested in from your local public library (or we’ve also linked each book for purchase from our friends at Little Shop of Stories). And don’t forget to register for the book club so you get our reading guide! We’ll have questions, prompts and resources for every reader to be able to contribute to the conversation around books!
