Dystopia is an imagined state or society in which there is great suffering or injustice. Usually these imagined states end up ominously reflective of our own society.
Nothing but the Rain by Naomi Salman: A sleepy little town discovers its memories have become part of the water cycle in Naomi Salman's debut novella, Nothing but the Rain. The rain in Aloisville is never-ending, and no one can remember when it started. There's not much they can remember. With every drop that hits their skin, a bit of memory is washed away. Stay too long in the wet, and you'll lose everything you used to be.

Join our Youth Services Librarian at Fresh on Fridays in Central Gardens once a month to stroll through the gardens, stop to read a few stories, and then continue the adventure with an exploration based on that day's book. We'll use our senses to enjoy all that the garden has to offer through the different seasons. After the stroll, spend some time exploring the rest of the activities that Fresh on Friday at Central Gardens has to offer! Meet at the main gate.

At the Do Art Productions Comic Book Program, we will explore the many different angles and tools of not only comics but self-expression. Each week we will explore a different aspect of comics from paneling, to character, to plot, as well as learn about the different aspects of inspiration and expressing ourselves. By the end we will have created many of our own comics, as well as see how to generate our own. Our goal is to always show that gratitude in being ourselves and the creativity that can sprout from expressing this. Everyone will receive stickers, bookmarks, and a variety of other material to further their comic creations.
