Lancaster Public Library's First Friday Music & Poetry Jam was a complete success. Four local teens participated by reading their original poetry between music sets performed by Jeepster. Angelique, Patricia, and Kathy attend La Academia Partnership Charter School and read from their compiled works in the soon-to-be-famous Red Notebook. The girls take turns possessing the notebook and writing their poetry in its spiral bound pages. Gabby is home-schooled and read from her meticulously written loose-leaf pages. Gabby is also a prolific artist, with work on display at the Lancaster Museum of Art. The poets got to meet Helaine Crawford, who specializes in sequential illustration and animation. Helaine suggested reading books written by animation studios on their productions to learn more about the kind of work that she does. Her work will be on display at the library until July 1st.
