The library and Blue Hill Books will host an author workshop with Nancy Tandon on Wednesday, July 8 at 2:00 p.m. This event will be geared towards kids in 3rd-6th grade.

This special creative writing workshop begins with a short reading from Nancy’s newest novel, The Haunting of Walker Pond, before participants are led in a “Mad Libs”-style group haunted storytelling activity. Then, kids are guided through the process of creating a scary story of their own including elements such as creepy descriptions, twists, and legends/lore, and will get to create DIY ghost bookmarks.
