Come join The Labs at MLK Library to participate in an art activity and discuss books focusing on creativity, innovation, and artistic development. We'll be working our way through Suleika Jaouad's The Book of Alchemy: A Creative Practice for an Inspired Life, covering one section per month for the entirety of 2026. No need to read the book ahead of time--we'll read together at the event, then discuss. Hope to see you there!
