Library to Host Graphic Novelist Laura Lee Gulledge


Teens are invited to experience learning outside of the classroom, May 1 from 10 to 11:30 a.m., as the Tompkins County Public Library hosts Graphic Novelist Laura Lee Gulledge for a special graphic novel-writing presentation.

“Big Ideas With Laura Lee Gulledge” will offer insight into turning doodles into published graphic novels. Budding authors and illustrators will learn about the writing and drawing process, character development, using art and video shorts to illustrate and how graphic novels are created, from sketch to final inking.

Gulledge is the author of young adult graphic novels “Page by Paige” and “Will and Whit” and a trained art educator.

This program is being held in conjunction with Ithaca College’s “Pippi to Ripley” conference.  It is free and open to young adults ages 11 to 19 and will be held in the Library’s Thaler/Howell Programming Room.

To register, or for more information, contact Teen Services Librarian Regina DeMauro at rdemauro@tcpl.org or (607) 272-4557 extension 274.
