Let’s make a movie! We'll be turning the Newbery Award honoree from 2024, Elf Dog and Owl Head by M.T. Anderson into a 90-second flash movie. Children will act out scenes, create props, and have fun making a movie! Register for the program starts on May 27 and stop by the Information Services desk anytime after to pick up your own copy of the book.

For children entering grades 4-8. We ask that participants try to commit to at least half of the sessions for filming purposes.

*Children will be given photo release forms before filming. Children who do not have these filled out can still participate, but they will not be on camera.
