Books & Beyond


Nicholson Memorial Library System - Central Library

Fans ages 6 to 12 of the Land of Stories book series by Chris Colfer can take part in a mini “Fantasy-Con” at the Nicholson Memorial Library System’s Books and Beyond program. The event takes place at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 8, at the Central Library.

Books and Beyond consists of book discussions and activities related to monthly themes. Each theme incorporates concepts from STEAM learning: science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Children use their imaginations to explore the themes and complete the activities, all while socializing with others their age and having fun.

Participants at the February event will enjoy activities inspired by the Land of Stories series including constructing a portal book cover, creating a peg doll inspired by one of the characters, writing an original story based on a provided prompt, designing a map of an imaginary land, and making a “wanted” poster of a character.

The Central Library is located at 625 Austin St., in Downtown Garland. Due to planned construction, event locations are subject to change.

Please be aware that photographs and video may be taken at Library programs for use in print and/or electronic media at the Library’s discretion. For more information, please call 972-205-2516.
