Mid-Continent Public Library will host its fifth-annual LitUp Festival, a free literature and arts festival created by teens for teens, on Saturday, June 4, at its North Independence Branch (317 W. 24 Hwy., Independence, MO 64050) from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This year’s festival will feature keynote presentations by New York Times bestselling authors Christina Hammonds Reed and Neal Shusterman, as well as presentations and workshops led by a variety of other writers and creators.
“LitUp is all about fostering creativity and building community among teens,” said MCPL Special Events Coordinator Sara Peterson-Davis. “This annual event gives kids the opportunity to gain inspiration from some of their favorite writers and creators and also learn how they can hone their own skills. Plus, they can spend time with new and old friends and enjoy free food and prizes!” The day-long event will offer attendees the opportunity to participate in creative activities, enjoy free snacks and lunch (while supplies last), and score some free books to take home. Plus, the first 200 attendees to register will receive a free, limited-edition LitUp swag bag!
