This tier supports the membership of one child in the Paperback Cinema Book Club, where young people from the South LA community receive a book from the library, read it during the week, and return for a fun-filled evening with food, games and trivia related to the book. The night culminates by watching a movie based on the book. Host: Charisse Sims (Includes Benefits of Ballad 44 Club)

This tier is perfectly named, because the Epic 44 club is as epic as the extraordinary and adventurous poems it is named after!
