Writing is all about being creative and expressing yourself! It can be fun to challenge yourself to create your story. Join us for our bi-monthly school-age program at the College Avenue branch library! This week, we'll be talking about inspiration and doing some easy writing!
Join us for Saturday Smarties at College Ave, a time just for school-age kids (ages 6-12) to hang out, be social and creative, and try new things, every other Saturday. For our first meet-up in May, we'll be doing some writing of our own! We'll talk about what inspires authors to write their stories, and what inspires us to write ours! Don't feel comfortable writing all on your own just yet? No problem! Your friendly neighborhood librarian is here to help you talk out a beginning, middle, and end and get your story out into the world! We can tell stories with our words on the page, with art, or with our voices! Tell us your story!
Established as the Broadway Branch in 1924, the library served the neighborhood from a frame house on E. 42nd Street until 1958 when a 6,500-square-foot facility opened on Broadway Street. This aging and overcrowded building was replaced in August 2000 with the current 16,000-square-foot structure on College Avenue that was renamed the College Avenue Branch.
