Calling all teens! Celebrate your favorite pop culture and geek fandoms!
You can meet young adult authors, participate in a cosplay contest and more at Johnson County Public Library’s annual Random Fandom event. Visit stations around the library to make crafts, meet professional Star Wars cosplayers and superhero costume characters, enjoy snacks and play games. This free event for teens occurs on June 24 from noon to 4 p.m. at the Clark Pleasant Branch Library in Whiteland.
Join us and bring your friends for an afternoon of activities. We kick it off at noon with character meet and greets, STEAM programs, crafts and photo opportunities. These activities will continue throughout the event.
At 1 p.m., meet the authors, participate in a Q&A and get your books signed after when we present a teen author panel. It features Kendare Blake, New York Times bestselling author of “Anna Dressed in Blood” & “One Dark Throne;” Ed Cho & Lee Cherolis, graphic novelists and illustrators of the “Little Guardians” series; and Annie Sullivan, author of “A Touch of Gold, A Curse of Gold.”
The first 25 teens to attend will receive a free book. Copies of books will also be available to purchase through Wild Geese Bookshop.
The fun doesn’t end there. We will even have a teen-only cosplay contest with great prizes. Teens interested in participating can visit our website, PageAfterPage.org/RandomFandom, to see the guidelines and fill out the entry form.
Lovers of anime, Marvel, Harry Potter, Disney, Star Wars and more will find great photo ops, games, crafts, snacks and fellowship with other like-minded teens. This teen event is not to be missed!
Tell your teens and their friends to attend Random Fandom on June 24.
