Aa unique event is brewing, poised to unlock the boundless imagination of young minds. On April 13, the Delaware County District Library will host the Young Writers’ Workshop, an inspiring opportunity for children aged 5 to 14 to author their own stories. This one-of-a-kind workshop, spearheaded by acclaimed comic book author and educational presenter Steve Harpster, promises not only to nurture budding talent but also to celebrate it by adding the finished products to the library’s permanent collection.
The workshop is structured into two sessions to accommodate various schedules and provide personalized attention to each aspiring writer. The morning session will run from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM, followed by an afternoon session from 1:30 PM to 4:00 PM. Each session is designed to guide the participants through the thrilling process of creating their own book, from the initial spark of an idea to the final stroke of a pen.
What sets this workshop apart is the unique opportunity for each child to see their work professionally bound and published. This tangible achievement not only serves as a keepsake of their creativity but also earns a spot in the Delaware County District Library’s esteemed permanent collection. It’s a rare chance for young authors to leave a lasting mark and inspire future readers.
This ticketed event is open to all, with a special discounted rate for Friends of the Library members. Tickets are priced at $35 for the general public and $30 for members, ensuring accessibility to a wide range of participants.

The Young Writers’ Workshop is more than just an event; it’s a community endeavor aimed at fostering a love for the arts and literature among the younger generation.

It’s an invitation for children to explore their creativity, improve their writing skills, and understand the value of their contributions to the local cultural heritage.
