Call to order: The meeting was called to order at 1:07 p.m. Attendees introduced themselves to Angela Hill, the new YA librarian at Capitol Hill.
Rob Vollmar, comic book store owner and published author, presented details about his creative writing program, entitled How to Write a Story. He discussed centering stories, main characters, structure, and plot. The program is roughly an hour and half, and costs $100. Thursday is a good day for him. He is also still available for teaching comic book/manga programs.
