Local high school student and published author Sofia Giammarco gives a short talk about her writing process and her new poetry collection, The Colors of Shadow and Rain, takes questions from the audience, and then leads a short writing workshop in which participants produce their own poems. Giammarco's favorite genres are poetry, dystopia, and fantasy, and her work explores individualism, female empowerment, and the fragile and stressful sides of teenage life. For tweens, teens, and adults; children under 12 need an adult caregiver in the library. Free; registration required.
