The Evergreen Park Public Library and Evergreen Park Community High School are teaming up to organize a literary festival for teens.
Tina Ward, media specialist at the high school, and Mary Black, teen librarian at the library, are planning the Young Adult Literary Festival for March 16 at the library. But first they have to find a way to bring in authors who have ignited a love of reading in young people. They’re hoping to attract keynote speakers who students have identified as favorites, such as Arshay Cooper, Kwame Alexander and Angeline Bouley.
” The festival is for 12-to-18 year-olds but the entire community will be welcome. “We want it to be a really big event,” Black said. Ward and Black already have collaborated on many events, including author visits, and school and library programs such as Food and Fiction, Summer Reading, Poetry Workshop and a Community Read and Poetry Slam.
