Akron author Jean Trawick will be at The Learned Owl Book Shop on Saturday, October 28th, with her children's book, "Spooklin". She wrote the book in 1956 while attending a Children's Literature class at Heidelberg College, using fabric and other materials to illustrate the story.  Many years later, the book was published with the author's illustrations. 

Donna Marie Przybojewski is an 8th grade language arts teacher at St. Benedict Catholic School in Garfield Heights and Thoreau Society Ambassador for the Bicentennial of Thoreau's birth this year. She designed a year-long celebration of the author for the 2016-2017 school year, with lessons crossing the curriculum throughout the year. Each month the school focused on a new Thoreau topic of a specific discipline.
