Teen Author Fest

The library hosted four YA authors (one of whom is an accomplished comic strip artist as well) in an afternoon of literary love. Teens attended a writing workshop taught by one of our authors, Jody Casella, mingled with the authors, bought their books and got autographs, and a lucky 6 won raffle prizes of more autographed books. Everyone got to take home a free paperback book, too, courtesy of The Learned Owl Bookshop. The event was sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
