Calling all high schoolers! Teen Book Club is meeting at Friendly City Books on Saturday, March 22, at 1 p.m. Come join us and get free copies of our next book Maybe an Artist by Liz Montague.

When Liz Montague was a senior in college, she wrote to the New Yorker, asking them why they didn't publish more inclusive comics. The New Yorker wrote back asking if she could recommend any. She responded: yes, me.

Those initial cartoons in the New Yorker led to this memoir of Liz's youth, from the age of five through college — how she navigated life in her predominantly white New Jersey town, overcame severe dyslexia through art, and found the confidence to pursue her passion.

This brilliant, laugh-out-loud graphic memoir offers a fresh perspective on life and social issues and proves that you don't need to be a dead white man to find success in art.

The Columbus-Lowndes Public Library and Friendly City Books are bringing together teens every month on the 2nd Saturday (at CLPL) and the 4th Saturday (at FCB) for:
✅ A FREE novel & graphic novel to read
✅ Thoughtful discussions in a judgment-free zone
✅ Snacks & fun activities to enjoy with friends!
Come connect, read, and discover new stories in a welcoming space! See you there!

Book giveaway sponsored by the Friendly City Books Community Connection, a special project of the CREATE Foundation.
