Hey, middle schoolers! Pen to Picture: Saturday, May 16

Pen to Picture THIS SATURDAY May 16, 2026

We are hosting Franklin's 4th annual graphic novel celebration. This was created four years ago as a collaboration between myself, Pam Allard, and the youth services staff at Franklin Public Library. It has been funded annually by a grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

This year we welcome Colleen AF Venable, the creative genius behind Kiss Number 8, Katie the Catsitter series, and the Junie B. Jones graphic novel adaptations. You'll hear about her creative process, how she joins words and pictures, and learn about her career as a graphic novelist. This event takes place at the Franklin Public Library on Saturday, May 16 at 1pm.

I worked with Ms. Venable this fall - she's super approachable and is a really fun presenter. If you know kids who are interested in graphic novels, or you are looking for something to do with your family this weekend, consider this your invitation!

Event runs from 1-3pm

Author presentation is 1:00 - 1:45 and followed by Q&A, book signings, photo ops, and breakout art and writing sessions led by FHS student volunteers 🤩

Target audience is middle school students but this is appropriate for all ages, particularly 8+

This event is free and open to all.
