*Our free of charge teen programs and events help this age group find a Third Space to feel safe and to gather together in our community. These programs are specifically for grades 6-12, unless otherwise noted. Adults and younger children will be asked to leave. If you are in 6-12th grade and require additional assistance or supervision from a social worker, guardian, or other adult please contact Youth Services beforehand or let us know at the beginning of the program.
*Snacks are often served at or made during teen programs. If you have a food allergy please contact Youth Services in advance. We will do our best to accommodate you or let you know what will be served so you can bring something comparable to make.

Bumbling Toward The Bookshelf: How Failing Kindergarten, Dressing Up Like A Big Red Dog, And Running Away To L.A. All Led Me To The Literary Life
2026-06-22 14:00 - 15:00 | Chippewa Falls Public Library, 105 W Central St, Chippewa Falls, WI, 54729, United States
Ray Bradbury famously remarked that writers must “Jump off the cliff and build [their] wings on the way down.” For the past three decades, author B.J. Hollars has done just that, leaping from one metaphorical cliff to another in search of the literary life. Through it all, every setback and minor success ultimately led him to where he needed to be: within listening distance of the next big story. Join Hollars for a candid conversation on unearthing your stories wherever you find them, or wherever they find you.
