New Writing & Illustration Club at Riverside Library: 1st Meeting March 18, 2014

The first meeting of a free new youth program (ages 8 and up), The Writing and Illustration Club, will be held on Tuesday, March 18 at 6 pm at Windsor Public Library's Riverside Branch, 6315 Wyandotte Street East.

The program is designed to:

• build a greater understanding of the creative writing process;

• act as a safe haven for writers who want to share their work with others, both in the group and  

  online; and

• offer illustrators free reign to create illustrations for storybooks or comics.

 

Members of this new free club will also have access to Riverside’s state-of-the-art iMac, which runs both iBooks Author and Autodesk^® SketchBook Pro. Various apps capable of enhancing writing and illustration techniques, for both iPad and Android devices, will also be explored.

The Riverside Writing and Illustration Club has a blog at rivwritingclub.wordpress.com to keep parents and friends up-to-date with what is happening and to teach the ins and outs of blogging. This page will also list dates for meetings in its "About" section at rivwritingclub.wordpress.com/about.

 

Remember, all members will have access to the iMac at any time during regular Riverside Library hours to work on their creative projects. Any writer/illustrator who is 8 years old and older is invited! Please join them at our first meeting on Tuesday, March 18 at 6 pm at Windsor Public Library's Riverside Branch, 6315 Wyandotte Street East.

The club is geeked about the fun they'll be having and hope you are, too! Even if members can't make every meeting, they're invited to come out and join the group when they can.
