Come discuss the art of storytelling on Jan. 18, from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., at the Ilsley Public Library in Middlebury to explore how the popular genre of graphic novels and comics can relate to problem solving through teamwork. Making comics with friends, old or new, is a chance to create a problem and solve it together. This workshop is an opportunity to play the game of making comics. Each person brings what they know and leaves with more than they arrived with. Free program for teens through adults.
