Local Author Showcase 2025

Create a Cozy Paper Village

Celebrate the magic of storytelling and creativity in this special teen and adult arts & crafts program!

Inspired by your favorite book series, participants will color and construct a cozy paper village—complete with charming cottages, shops, and scenes that feel like they’re right off the page.

This hands-on activity is part of our Local Author Showcase, where we highlight the work of talented writers from our community. While you craft, explore featured titles and discover new local reads.

All materials are provided. No experience necessary—just bring your imagination!

Recommended for ages 13 and up.
