Book Discussion and Craft

July 9 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

This program invites teens to bring and discuss any book they’re passionate about—whether it’s a recent read, a classic favorite, or a graphic novel. After a lively, inclusive discussion where everyone’s voice is valued, participants will personalize canvas book bags with fabric markers, paint, and other materials. This event encourages self-expression, builds community, and gives teens a practical, creative keepsake to support their love of reading.
