Youth Author Talk & Book Signing with Colleen AF Venable
Webster Public Library is pleased to host Colleen AF Venable, author of indie bestseller Katie the Catsitter graphic novel series, this winter at Webster Parks & Recreation (1350 Chiyoda Dr, Webster, NY 14580)! Venable is the perfect author for kids and teens. Katie the Catsitter graphic novel series, illustrated by Stephanie Yue, was nominated for 14 state awards. Venable’s Kiss Number 8, a graphic novel co-created with Ellen T. Crenshaw, was longlisted for the 2019 National Book Award for Young People's Literature.
Join us for a presentation by Venable, including a Q&A, followed by a book signing after the talk. Local bookseller Hipocampo Children’s Books will be on site with 3 of Venable's books. Each registered child or teen in attendance will receive a free book for Venable to sign.
Registration is required and opens at 10:00 am on Friday, November 14. Please click here to register.
