Mantel Stories with Amy Bowers for grades 5-8

They say the author Mark Twain used to tell stories based on photos displayed on his fireplace mantel. With the help of local writer Amy Bowers, explore the library to find your own selection of lost photos. Then use a combination of reading, writing & other activities to create your own stories, which would be perfect submissions for the Flotsam Creative Writing Contest! This program is offered on two dates, choose whichever works best for you! To sign up for Saturday, July 30, click here.
