Monroe Center Library is thrilled to welcome graphic novelist Mat Heagerty to Monroe Center School on Tuesday morning, January 13. Each grade will enjoy its own presentation, so students get a personal look at how graphic novels are written. Many students have already read or heard excerpts from Lumberjackula—what a treat to meet the author!
Add to the fun: students are invited to wear flannel for Team Lumberjack or black for Team Dracula. 🪵🧛♂️✨
📝 Back-to-school tip: as you pack backpacks tomorrow, don’t forget any library books!
Parents & guardians — check your email for a full reminder on library procedures. Students will go over expectations at their next library visit.
We’re so excited to welcome you back! 🤩
