Meet a Hero @ Your Library

I was excited to see Elaine's article in the Online Gargoyle about wizard rock coming to the Champaign Public Library as part of its Get Inspired! Meet a Hero @ Your Library initiative. This grant-funded reading project is benefiting a number of area libraries, including the Urbana Free Library, the Champaign and Urbana school libraries, the Parkland College library, and the University of Illinois Library. As a unit of the University Library, the Uni High Library is also getting in on the action. We were already able to purchase a number of books and videos to support the new English class called The Hero's Journey, I'm also going to be able to really flesh out our superhero offerings in the graphic novel collection.

Two videos for the Hero's Journey class

So what comes after the wizard rock event on Friday? Why, the University Library's Edible Book Festival, of course! Personally, I think I have a better chance competing for the culinary prize than the artistic one, but maybe I could get some help there (hint, hint - you know who you are).
