As a part of One Book, One Chicago, a group of 57 teens have been reading Carl Smith’s book, The Plan of Chicago: Daniel Burnham and the Remaking of the American City and working with YOUmedia mentors to create digital pieces which address issues in their neighborhood and present real workable solutions to these challenges.
Come together to view these remarkable works and see the Library’s new YOUmedia space for teens. Join us for live student performances, documentaries, the Digital City Planner Photo Exhibition, a community art project and refreshments.
