Chicago Public Library is proud to announce Teen Lit Night: Unbound, a first-ever event of its kind at CPL, inviting teens and young adults to experience reading in new ways through music, art and author conversations. The debut event will take place Friday, Sept. 19th, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Winter Garden at Harold Washington Library Center. Teen Lit Night: Unbound is one of the many ways that CPL engages teens through programs that foster creativity, confidence and real-word readiness. At Teen Lit Night: Unbound, young adults ages 13 to 22 will immerse themselves in an evening that celebrates teen literature, art and culture. Attendees will meet and hear from award-winning authors K. Ancrum (Icarus, The Wicker King, and The Corruption of Hollis Brown) and Jamia Wilson (Make Good Trouble, A Year of Black Joy and Young, Gifted and Black) while enjoying book-inspired mocktails. The night will also feature live music, including a silent disco party with Mo MAMI, lo-fi beats with Backpack Beatz and custom swag created for the event by artist Clue Chicago. Teen Lit Night: Unbound is free and open to ages 13 to 22. To learn more and RSVP, visit chipublib.org/unbound. For other events and resources for teens, visit chipublib.org/teens.
