Fall at KPL - Author Visits, Read Week and More!

Fall is always a great time here at KPL. Oh sure, you gotta go back to school, but the air is cool, the leaves are changing colors, and we've still got a ton of stuff going on at the Teen department! We kick Teen Read Week off in two weeks, but you can already show off your creative side with Picture It, going on now through the 26th! Then, help benefit the Kalamazoo Loaves and Fishes by reading for the fun of it at the annual Read-A-Thon! Pick up a pledge form at the Teen Desk.

Finally, mark your calendar, make a note in your to-do list, or do whatever else it is you need to do to remind yourself about our Authors @ The Zoo event at 6:30 PM on November 3rd! We're super-excited to have two of our favorite authors coming to visit the library: Holly Black, creator of the Curse Workers series (White Cat, Red Glove, and the forthcoming Black Heart), The Spiderwick Chronicles, and the collections Geektastic, Zombies vs. Unicorns, and others; and Robin Wasserman, author of the Cold Awakening trilogy (Skinned, Crashed, and Wired) along with Hacking Harvard and the forthcoming Book of Blood and Shadow. It's going to be a metric ton of awesomeness, so don't miss it!
