Superior: Superior Public Library hosts its Bookworms Book Club for kids at 4 p.m. Those who attend will enjoy a discussion of the graphic novel "Katie the Catsitter 2: Best Friends for Never" by Colleen AF Venable, the sequel to "Katie the Catsitter." In this follow-up, it's back to school for Katie the Catsitter. She loves skating with the Wheelas and the fact that she's officially a superhero sidekick. But now that school's starting, everything's changing. The Mousetress is getting blamed for things Katie knows she didn't do. Katie's best friend Beth is back in town and Beth's new boyfriend is always hanging around (ugh). Not to mention that all of Katie's friends are mad at her. Fixing this will be harder than any skateboarding trick. But with the help of 217 slightly out-of-the-ordinary cats, Katie's going to try. Copies of the book are available at the library.
