GOOD LIL’ SCHOOL GIRL BOOK CLUBS

In keeping with her interest of connecting young people to the written word, author Tina McElroy Ansa has started another exciting project: Good Lil' School Girl Book Clubs around the state and country. Good Lil' School Girl is a foundation the author started about four years ago to honor and assist women and young people in various arenas: education, personal empowerment, writing and publishing. career choice and volunteerism. In the last two years, she has established book clubs in schools (k-12), churches and with civic groups and Job Corps around the state. She began by donating paperback copies of her first novel BABY OF THE FAMILY to the group as the first book choice because it is a novel that has a young Southern girl at its center and is a novel that all ages can read and identify with. For high school age groups, she has suggested her fourth novel YOU KNOW BETTER, whose main character is an 18-year-old girl who is seriously “at-risk” in a number of arenas and in need of connecting with the women in her family.. Tina McElroy Ansa has encouraged local businesses where the book clubs have formed to sponsor the clubs by purchasing books for the young people. This last seems to be the best way to go. In areas that are within driving distance of her home on St. Simons Island, Georgia, Ms. Ansa has tried to attend the inaugural meeting of the book club to lead the first discussion. Having the author there has been an exciting and motivating factor in the clubs. If you know of any libraries groups or schools that would be interested in forming their own chapters of Good Lil' School Girl Book Clubs (We don't exclude boys! There have been a number of young men in one of the high school age clubs.), please let us know by completing the form below. Happy reading!
