Teens, in honor of America’s 250th birthday, we invite you to join us for Writing Democracy: Creating Thriving Communities Through Storytelling. This program presented by Cosmic Writers invites you to tell your own utopian and dystopian stories. You can make a civic impact even before you're old enough to vote, and by harnessing the power of fiction, you can share your ideas about the kind of America you aspire to build in the next 250+ years of our country. Major support provided by the New York Life Foundation, the 2026 city-wide sponsor for Summer Reading and Learning Programs.
