Teen Lit Café: Candace Fleming Author Visit

Thursday, June 17 | 6 – 7 pm | Virtual

Teen Lit Café is a monthly book club exclusively for teens! The June meeting is extra special because attendees will get to visit virtually with award-winning author Candace Fleming! Teens will discuss the author’s book, The Rise and Fall of Charles Lindbergh, winner of the 2021 YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults.

Candace Fleming is the author of more than 40 books for children and young adults. Teens will also have the opportunity to ask the author questions about her research and writing. Participants may pick up a free copy of the book (while supplies last) ahead of time by registering and choosing a library location to pick up their book.

Teens, what could make yoga more relaxing and fun? Goats! Whether you are a seasoned yogi or you have no idea what a warrior pose is, you are invited to this special free library event at Happy Goat Lucky Yoga (24085 IN-37 N, Noblesville). You will need to bring your own mat, towel, or blanket and water (optional). WARNING: Goats are cuddly, 100% adorable, and like to climb!

This event is for teens going into grades 6-12 only. Adults and siblings may not attend the class with their teen. Space is limited to 20 teens to maintain proper social distancing.
