Read! Imagine! Create!

 The library will participate in the Read! Imagine! Create! Program with Write Out Loud San Diego. The program is about providing young people the opportunity to find meaningful connection with literature through their own creativity and self-expression, to build community with students across San Diego County, and to feel empowered to bring their own unique perspectives to what they read.

Middle and High School Students will READ THE BEST WE COULD DO by Thi Bui or MEXIKID by Pedro Martín. Students will RE-IMAGINE the images, themes, or characters and then CREATE a project in a medium important to them.

All artistic mediums qualify: painting, sculpting, musical composition, sewing, dance choreography, poetry, short story, graphic novel, comic strips, digital art, fashion design, culinary creation… the list goes on! From painted skateboards to full-length operas, Read! Imagine! Create! encourages students to find something they relate to in a text and express it in a way that is meaningful to them.

Submissions are displayed in area libraries in the spring, and all are considered for CASH PRIZES. Awards and recognition are presented at a public ceremony.

The full program begins in September and ends in May.
