Meeting Room

Is the edge of your epic Romantasy book looking a little plain? Join us at Stringtown to create designs on the book edge to make it as wicked as the plot.

You can bring your own book to paint the edges, or you can pick from one of ours. We have the stencils for romance and fantasy-themed books, but any genre is welcome! Stencils have fairies, swords, flowers, stars, dragons, and more. Feel free to bring your own stencils as well!

*Due to the historic nature of the EVPL East, West, and Stringtown buildings, their meeting rooms are not fully ADA accessible. If you are interested in participating in a program that is not accessible, please contact that location to arrange alternative accommodations.
