The season is only half over, and there are many more opportunities coming this winter and spring to explore our theme of "Heroes: Real & Imagined" with this year’s selection, Michael Chabon’s The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay.

- opportunities to create your own superhero mask or ring in the Maker Lab
- an appearance by hip hop poet hero J. Ivy
- a teen open mic event exploring all things heroic in YOUMedia
