We are only as strong as our members allow us to be.

Grow your own private library at this Everyday Edgebrook- sponsored used book sale event. Items will be priced at $0.50 or $1.00, and the sale will be held in the common area on the first floor. All proceeds will benefit Edgebrook Library.

Edgebrook Library accepts donations of books, DVDs, audiobooks, music CDs, and more for children, teens and adults year-round. Donations must be in very good condition and should be brought into the library and given to a staff member at the circulation desk.

Ask your librarian or visit chipublib.org for more information.

Jill Thompson, creator of Scary Godmother and Eisner award winning artist, will host a talk on comic creation, storytelling and her experiences as a female comic creator. She will talk through script creation, plot development, layouts and artworks to demonstrate and detail the creative process that goes into making comics a reality.

Jill will also do a live art demonstration and will take questions during and after the demonstration. Free comics will be distributed after the program while supplies last.

Online registration is required. Click here to register or for more information.

This event is sponsored by the Edgebrook Community Association.
