Join our Graphic Novel Club.  Every month we will look at two Graphic Novels and talk about what we liked and didn't like about them.  Register and pick up a club kit from Stanford L. Warren and draw your favorite scene, or sketch out a new scene.  Make yourself the author and show off your skills or work on some new skills.

One of our July books is This One Summer by Mariko Tamaki.  "Every summer, Rose goes with her mom and dad to a lake house in Awago Beach. It's their getaway, their refuge. Rosie's friend Windy is always there, too, like the little sister she never had. But this summer is different. Rose's mom and dad won't stop fighting, and when Rose and Windy seek a distraction from the drama, they find themselves with a whole new set of problems. It's a summer of secrets and sorrow and growing up, and it's a good thing Rose and Windy have each other."

Our other book is FTLY, Y'all! a Graphic Novel anthology.  "Six months from now, detailed schematics anonymously uploaded to the Internet will describe, in perfect detail, how to build a faster-than-light engine for $200 in easily-available parts. Space travel will become instantly--and chaotically--democratized. The entire cosmos will be within reach of all humankind. This is what happens next."

This is a live Zoom program and the link will be sent to registered participants an hour before the event.
