Ever wondered how to get started making your own comic? Then this is the workshop for you! Longtime zine-maker/comic creator Sumiko Saulson is here to explain how to create your very own comic zine(s), from the first spark of an idea to the finished product. The workshop includes both instruction and lots of time to work on your comic zine. All supplies are provided. Attendees also get a handout to take home that will guide you (or friends!) through comic zine creation in the future.
About our guest:

Welcome to the wild and wonderful world of zines! A zine (said like "zeen") is a hand-made booklet full of YOUR ideas and art. Fill it with words, pictures, poems, comics... anything at all, and share your voice with the world. At this workshop, you'll learn what a zine is, where they came from, and how to make your very own minizine (an 8-page zine made from a single sheet of paper). Come with your curiosity and curiosity, and we'll provide the rest!
Join us for a series of transportation-themed paper crafting sessions! All supplies and instructions will be provided. This program is most suitable for children in preschool and kindergarten.
Please note that on July 11th, we will not be offering an in person session of this program. Starting at 3:00 p.m. that day, while supplies last, take home crafts kits will be available from the Claremont Branch Library's information desk.
You are invited to a Death Café experience where people, often strangers, gather to discuss death.
The objective is “to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives”. The experience will be a group discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session. Death Cafés help people talk about death and dying in a supportive, unstructured way.
The Poetry Circle at the Claremont Branch. Bring a few poems -- or discover some here. We will be taking turns in a reading circle.
