This November, the Mattapoisett Free Public Library is celebrating creativity in full swing. We’re excited to launch a series of fun and imaginative events designed to inspire young storytellers, writers, and artists. Whether you’re into storytelling, comics, or graphic novels, we’ve got something special for you.
It all kicks off with the Creative Storytelling Workshop. Join us every Saturday in November from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm for this exciting hands-on workshop where young storytellers will dive into the art of crafting compelling stories. Participants will brainstorm ideas, learn storytelling tips, and watch their imaginations soar as they create stories in any form they choose—whether it’s traditional writing, poetry, or even comics. This workshop is open to all writing styles and recommended for ages 8-12. While registration is encouraged, walk-ins are always welcome.
Our Graphic Novel Book Club is back on Friday, November 15 at 3:30 pm, and this month we’re diving into Timid by Jonathan Todd. Copies are available at the library, so pick yours up and get ready for an engaging discussion, craft activity, and of course, snacks. This event is ideal for ages 9 and up. To join, simply register through our website, or drop by if you have any questions.
On Thursday, November 21 at 3:30 pm, the author and illustrator of Timid, Jonathan Todd, will visit the library for an exciting workshop on graphic novel creation for the program, How to Create a Graphic Novel Page. Learn from the expert himself as he guides participants through the process of crafting an amazing story, sketching thumbnail panels, and penciling and inking like a pro. By the end of the session, you’ll have your very own graphic novel page. Ready to unleash your creativity? Register online to secure your spot for this can’t-miss event.
All programs are free and open to the public. If you have any questions, please contact Brooke Solaris at bsolaris@sailsinc.org. You can also find more information on our website at MattapoisettLibrary.org.
