Richardson Public Library officials are looking to add to their collection this summer. The catch? They are seeking picture books created by local middle-schoolers that will be added to the library’s shelves.
Richardson students entering grades 5 through 9 this fall will have the opportunity to create a picture book that will become part of the collection at the Richardson Public Library, according to an announcement by the city. The program will help students learn how to write and illustrate a picture book through a series of virtual meetings and workshops with a professional author and a graphic artist hosted by the library this summer.
Students must be a Richardson resident and have a Richardson Public Library card. Registration is required by June 19 and can be made by calling 972-744-4358 although an email address must be provided.
Currently, participants can pick up their starting supplies at the youth services help desk with optional supply folders available until June 19. Mandatory cover art paper may be picked up from June 22 through 26.
