Book to Art Club

Read. Talk. Make.
Open to High School Students and Adults
No registration is required.

Mead Public Library's Book to Art Club will meet monthly at John Michael Kohler Arts Center in The ARTery on the second Thursday of the month, September 2016 through August 2017, 6:00pm to 7:30pm.  Food and drinks will be available for purchase at the ARTcafe.  Please note date, time, and location exceptions in special events in October and July.

Mead Public Library will partner with John Michael Kohler Arts Center and Bookworm Gardens on coordinated activities during the 2016-2017 season.  Participants will read the selected book, then create artistic projects during the discussion to further engage with the literature.  The process of art-making is more important than the final product!  Art supplies will be provided, but participants may bring their own materials.  Check out our Pinterest page for inspiration!

Book club copies of books may be obtained at the second floor Help Desk one month before discussion.  The Book to Art Club activities are free, funded by the Friends of Mead Public Library.  The Book to Art Club is part of The Library as Incubator Project.  Follow us on Meetup!, Goodreads, and Pinterest!
