Children of all ages are invited to unleash their creativity and passion by writing their very own book or a unique story of your own! Whether it’s fiction or nonfiction, , there are no rules—just write what inspires you. Don’t forget to create your own cover art and include an “About the Author” section on the back. Once finished, your book will be proudly displayed in the library for everyone to read and enjoy! To help new authors get started, we will provide a helpful guide. You can learn more about the Youth Book Club this Saturday during the “Letters to Santa” event. After Saturday, the guide will be available for pickup at the library, or you can download it: Youth Author’s Guide. We can’t wait to see what you create!
