SUMMARY:READING WIDELY BOOK CLUB PRESENTS ENDPAPERS WITH JEN SAVRAN KELLY!
DESCRIPTION:Join BSB staff for a conversation on Endpapers\, with special guest\, author Jen Savran Kelly! \nBook club titles are 10% off! \nAbout the Book: It’s 2003\, and artist Dawn Levit is stuck. A bookbinder who works at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, she spends all day repairing old books but hasn’t created anything of her own in years—and with nothing ready to show at her major gallery debut in six weeks\, time is of the essence. What’s more\, although she doesn’t have a word for it yet\, Dawn is genderqueer and she’s struggling to feel safe expressing herself.\nOne day at work\, Dawn discovers something hidden under the endpapers of an old book: the torn-off corner of a 1950s lesbian pulp novel\, with an illustration of a woman looking into a mirror and seeing a man’s face. Even more intriguing is the queer love letter written on the back. Dawn becomes obsessed with tracking down the author of the letter\, convinced the mysterious writer can help her find a place in the world and also solve the trickiest puzzle of all: how she truly wants to live her life.\nA sharply written\, evocative debut\, Endpapers is both a page-turning bookish mystery and an unforgettable story about the journey toward authenticity and the hard conversations we owe ourselves in pursuit of a world where no one has to hide.

SUMMARY:Wearable Expressions Gala: A Showcase of IHS Student Fashion Design
DESCRIPTION:This wearable art exhibition is a celebration of creativity\, craftsmanship\, and personal expression through the lens of fashion. The pieces on display have been entirely conceptualized and constructed by students from Ithaca High School\, grades 9 through 12. These works represent weeks of dedication\, exploration\, and skill-building\, reflecting both individual voices and shared classroom experiences. \nStudents in the program arrive with varying levels of experience. Some bring prior knowledge of sewing or design\, while others are new to the world of fashion. Together\, they explore not only the fundamentals of design and construction but also the broader social and cultural impact of clothing. Class discussions address the environmental and ethical implications of fast fashion\, the influence of technology on the industry\, and how garments can reflect or challenge ideas around gender\, body image\, cultural appropriation\, and economic status. Students are also encouraged to explore what it means to be truly original in their designs. \nWe hope you’ll join us for our opening reception at CSMA on June 6th at 5pm!

SUMMARY:Workshop: Finding the Right Voice: Writing for Young Readers
DESCRIPTION:How do you create a narrator that truly speaks to young readers? In this interactive workshop with Emily Sun Li and Tommy McAree\, we’ll explore how to craft authentic voices across picture books\, middle grade\, and young adult fiction. We’ll begin with a guided discussion on narrative voice\, analyzing syntax\, diction\, and tone through standout examples from children’s literature. Drawing from The Magic Words by Cheryl Klein and Writing Picture Books by Ann Whitford Paul\, we’ll examine techniques that shape a narrator’s voice and deepen reader connection. In small groups\, participants will analyze real texts to identify language choices that define audience. Next\, we’ll introduce a “character mining” strategy to help develop distinctive voices. Participants will then draft a short piece using guided prompts or a fun challenge involving randomly assigned narrator traits. We’ll wrap up with a group share and feedback session. By the end\, participants will leave with fresh writing\, analytical tools\, and a clear methodology for crafting authentic\, engaging narrative voices.
