Tome Club members from Mt. Vernon Exploratory meet Thursday morning at the University of North Georgia’s Gainesville campus during Tomecon 2016. The event is open to all elementary, middle and high school book club members and featured reading bowl competitions, talks from authors and a full day of workshops and events.
