Marysville Public Library

Meeting Room A

Love to read and write? Come hang out with us and talk about anthologies!

Anthologies are a mix of works; sometimes from the same author, sometimes from different authors. Anthologies can have poems, short stories, essays or plays. Anthologies are often grouped by theme, genre, or even by time period. We will have a group discussion on what anthologies are, and discuss some popular anthologies. After each tween/teen will be given a theme and will then write either a poem or short story following the theme given.


No prior experience is needed, just have fun and enjoy the writing process!

AGE GROUP: | Tween/Teen |
