Cartooning & Big Read at El Toro Library

In celebration of the graphic memoir Can We Talk About Something More Pleasant? by Raz Chast, OC Public Libraries is happy to present a cartoon drawing program for beginners presented by the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity! This event will take place at several libraries over the next few months, including the El Toro Library in Lake Forest, on Monday Jan. 13th 5pm to 6:30pm!

Join our teaching artists at your local library for a big read of the featured literature, followed by a class in creating your own cartoon! We hope to see you there!
