This creative writing program is geared for 3rd-6th graders. Participants will brainstorm, write, and draw their own monster in their very own Monster Building Handbook, provided by a grant through the Cosmic Writers by the Tigris Foundation. In three sessions, writers will put their monsters through various scenarios, culminating with a face-off against a monster hunter! Attendance at all three sessions is recommended, but writers can complete activities in the book on their own if they miss a session. Registration required.

Presented by Dr. Ric Sheffield, the program explores the collection of stories of courage and resolve as Black men tried to exercise their rights as citizens in late-1800s Ohio, a state often thought to be less antagonistic to racial equality in the Reconstruction era.
