Young Writers Workshop
The Friends of Delaware County District Library’s popular Young Writers Workshops are back! These fun workshops, led by author/illustrator Steve Harpster, guide kids in writing and illustrating their own books.
Saturday, April 13 at Delaware Main Library. Online registration is required and a parent MUST be present with children. We have made some exciting new changes to the program:
- Kids grades K-8 can register for either the morning or afternoon session, so a parent can bring all their kids to one workshop!
- Participants get 3 copies of their books instead of 1 (in time for Mother’s Day gifting!)
- A limited number of scholarships are available
Registration opens in March at www.delawarelibraryfriends.org
