Event Details

Now there's a second way to take part in the virtual drawing workshop with bestselling author and illustrator, Jarrett J. Krosoczka! We're hosting a Watch Party!

If you don't want to ZOOM in at home, come to our watch party at the Watts-Midtown Branch Community Room. Afterwards, you'll be in the perfect spot to take advantage of Free Comic Book Day. You don't have to register for the Watch Party, but it's helpful if you do. 

Perfect for the entire family, this live, virtual drawing workshop will inspire the inner artist in everyone. Jarrett creates books with humor, heart, and deep respect for his young readers—qualities that have made his titles perennial favorites on the bookshelves of homes, libraries, and bookstores over the past twenty years. So sharpen your pencils, bring out the paper, and join us for this can’t miss event!
