Workshop: Teen Writers’ Group

This is a great opportunity to get feedback on your own writing, especially a piece that you may be stuck on. You can share your work with other teens, and even bring copies of your work if you must. If you’re a bit timid the first time around, attend a meeting to get a feel of others’ work and style. The group reconvenes in the New Year, so get your pencils scribing. For ages 13-19.

When: Thursdays, starting January 5, 2012; from 4:30 pm—6:30 pm
Where: North York Central Library: Room 2/3, 5120 Yonge Street

No registration required. Just drop in.

Workshop: Teen Book Club

Avid reader? Then bring your favourite recommendations and discuss them with other teens. For ages 12+, you’ll never run out of new and intriguing novels.

When: Tuesdays, starting January 24, 2012; from 4:00pm—5:00pm
Where: Downsview TPL Branch, 2793 Keele Street

Workshop: Colonel Mustard in the Library

If you’ve ever wanted to create and solve your own mystery, but don’t quite know how to begin your investigation, then this is a great time to learn. Detective Constable Wade Knapp from the Toronto Police will discuss real methods used to solve modern day crimes.
