Join IRW at the Henry D. Moore Library in Steuben for an all-day program with author Rob Harrell, inspired by his book Popcorn!

May 20, 2026 | 9:00am–2:15pm

Participants will jump into activities and games inspired by Popcorn, and Rob will lead them through drawing comics based on their own lives.

Recommended for ages 8–12; this not a drop-off program, please plan to stay & join in on the day! Please also plan to bring a lunch.

This program requires registration. After we confirm your registration, we will reach out to coordinate distributing free copies of Popcorn so that you can read it ahead of the program. Plan to read the book and come ready with your questions for Rob! He’ll also sign & personalize your book at the program.
