Program Description
Event Details
Are you a writer in grades 3-5? Join Miss Rebecca to write, write, write! Trigger your imagination with writing games and prompts, try out new writing styles, and workshop writing of your own. This month, we will read My Best Friend Is As Sharp As a Pencil and Other Funny Classroom Portraits by Hanoch Piven together at the Library, then write and illustrate character sketches that honor the friends and family we most cherish.
This program is part of a monthlong Humans of New Canaan series that explores who we are and the profound impact of relationships that shape our lives—from the family who root us and the friends who nourish us to the mentors who guide us and figures who inspire us. Participants will have the option of leaving their writing at the Library to be part of a Humans of New Canaan display.

Youth Participation Guidelines
If your child is under 12 years old, an adult caregiver must remain in the Children’s Room for the duration of the program. If your child finishes a program early, or if a child becomes ill, distressed, or behaves in a manner that interferes with other participants’ enjoyment of the program, they may be released into the Children’s Room before the program’s end time. Please ensure that your child knows exactly where to find you at all times.
