(July 24, 2023) — The following events will take place during August 2023 at Killingworth Library, 301 Route 81 in Killingworth:
Creating Comics with Adam Wallenta Saturday, August 5, 2023 at 10:30 a.m.
Join us as local author and artist Adam Wallenta takes us behind the scenes of his Punk Taco graphic novel series! Learn about the creative process behind the books, and see how professional comics are illustrated. This event will include a presentation and a drawing demonstration.
Recommended for ages 7+, but all ages are welcome! This event will be held in the library’s meeting room, since Adam will be showing a Power Point presentation. Please contact the library at 860-663-2000 to register, or visit the Calendar on the library’s website: killingworthlibrary.org.
Discovering Moths with John Himmelman Thursday, August 24, 2023 at 6:00 p.m.
Join us as we welcome Killingworth author/photographer/illustrator John Himmelman! Meet the beautiful, fascinating, and underappreciated cousins of the butterflies. While you will learn about a couple of the pests (like, what’s the connection between Gypsy Moths and a crater on Mars?) and how they got here, we’ll mostly be celebrating the vast array of bewitching and beneficial species with whom we share our yards. Following the one- hour presentation, there will be time for questions, plus a book signing. Please contact the library at 860-663-2000 to register, or visit the Calendar on the library’s website: killingworthlibrary.org.
