¡El Festival de Ciencia Ficción de la Biblioteca Octavia E. Butler será el viernes 27 de marzo de 2026, de 3 a 6 p. m.! El público objetivo del festival son estudiantes de entre 8 y 15 años.

The Festival celebrates the genre of science fiction while honoring the legacy of Octavia E. Butler, who wrote about wanting to provide opportunities for young people to write in the genre. Butler is known for immersing herself in research to ground her writing in reality while imagining what if...., if only..., and if this goes on.... Our festival brings together writers, artists, scientists, and creators to inspire our students to see themselves in the future and imagine how they can be the next generation of thinkers and creators.
