Do you love books that make you laugh and are full of imagination and real feelings? Do you wish you had a fairy godmother named Mr. Nuggy, who answers the banana phone when you call? Or maybe you already know the Dory Fantasmagory books? Did you know a new one (the 6th!) just came out? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, or are just up for a fun afternoon, come to our Dory Fantasmagory Party where we will celebrate this fabulous character and series with crafts, snacks, readalouds, and a dancy party inspired by the most recent book!

In this class, led by artist Lisa Hersey of Antler Editions, we will explore different bookbinding techniques that can be recreated at home. Making a book can be as simple as folding one sheet of paper, or involve 16 pages and sewing! Students will learn how to put content into their books for reproducing editions of their work for themselves or to bring to Press On: Indie Publishing Festival! We will have time to work together and create original books by either decorating the covers, or putting words/drawings onto the pages. Ages 12+, participants must be able to hold and handle a needle. Space is limited, sign up at the library in person or by calling us at 413-527-1031 or emailing us at youthdept@ewmlibrary.org.

Are you interested in art, movies, or just want to try something new? Come to the library to learn all about the art of making storyboards! A storyboard is a series of drawings that visualize what shots will be needed before the crew sets out to film. Instead of a camera, we use pencils, paper, and our imagination to bring the words to life. At this program, you’ll get to learn about filmmaking, get a few drawing tips, and make some storyboards of your very own. No prior experience or skill is required! Storyboarding is about visualizing ideas, not making brilliant works of art, so there is literally zero pressure. Ages 10+, Registration is recommended–stop by the library, give us a call at 413-527-1031, or send us an email at youthdept@ewmlibrary.org.
