Spend some time with an array of beautiful handmade and altered books. Meet local book artists and participate in a discussion of their creative process. Handmade and altered books will also be on display for the entire month of June in the library's front lobby.

Join three authors for a reading and signing of their new releases. Elizabeth Crane, winner of the Chicago Public Library's 21st Century Award, will read from "You Must Be This Happy to Enter: Stories." Nina Revoyr, winner of an American Library Association Stonewall Honor Book in Literature award, will read from "The Age of Dreaming: A Novel." Abraham Rodriguez, American Book Award winner, will read from "South by South Bronx." The books will be available for purchase. The publisher of the books is independent book publisher, Akashic Books.

Discover the enjoyment of combining captions, titles, or journal entries with images. You’ll survey the digital options of online photoblogs, scrapbooks and slide shows, and practice captioning and titling images from cameras, online, old albums, etc. Please register at the library or by calling (360) 352-0595 beginning March 25.
