Join the Library for our second Book to Art Club meeting of the semester, Wednesday, November 14, 7-9pm on the 1st Floor.

Started by the Library-As-Incubator Project, the Book to Art Club is a book + art-making club that exists virtually and in-person at libraries around the world. Our selection for this year is HG Wells’ War of the Worlds, a story told time and again through various media–films, comics, radio. Come for some general discussion (of both the book and other incarnations) and make some art. At the end of the year, we will turn our collective endeavors into a book art/zine project in time for the Manifest Celebration.
