Ever since 1922, the Newbery Medal has been recognized as the most presti-gious award in children’s literature. But any classic book, no matter how worthy and somber, turns into something fresh and bonkers when compressed into 90 seconds.

The 90-Second Newbery Film Festival was founded in 2011 in partnership with Utah Humanities as an annual  video contest in which kid filmmakers create short movies that tell the entire stories of Newbery-winning books in about 90 seconds.

From the hundreds of kid-made videos received over the years, a few standouts* include:

E. B. White’s 1953 Honor Book Charlotte’s Web in the style of the opening credits of a 1970s superhero TV show.

Beverly Cleary’s 1978 Honor Book Ramona and Her Father as a musical retelling that rewrites the story with lyrics of pop songs.

Richard and Florence Atwater’s 1939 Honor Book Mr. Popper’s Penguins as a zombie apocalypse.

Arnold Lobel’s 1973 Honor Book Frog and Toad Together as a love story inspired by Wes Anderson films and French yé-yé pop music.

Sid Fleischman’s 1987 Honor Book The Whipping Boy in the style of Star Wars, complete with lightsabers, spaceship chase scenes, and lasers.

The best of each year’s movies are shown at FREE yearly screenings across the country, in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, San Antonio, Min-neapolis, and this year—Orem, Utah! Don’t miss this show at the Orem Public Library, which will be co-hosted by authors James Kennedy (The Order of Odd-Fish) and Keir Graff (The Match-stick Castle, The Phantom Tower). This event is free and for all ages; it will feature popcorn, live comedy bits, and screenings of the top movies of the year, including movies made by kids from

Orem Elementary, as well as some of the best movies received nationwide over the past nine years.

Registration is not required, but is recommended to ensure you have a seat (and popcorn). To reserve a free spot, visit bitly.com/oremnewberyfilm.

EVENTS

members of the cosplay community to help instruct patrons through the vari-ous stages of their work. Every month, the Orem Library Makerspace (located in the South Wing basement) will dedi-cate a clinic to an element of making your costume, and our experts will give advice on what you’ve created and devel-oped between the workshops. Our goal is to mentor our creators to a successful costume build by October, and to get our cosplay creators in to the FanX Salt Lake Cosplay Contest and the Anime Bonzai contests.

All ages are welcome to attend, and no registration is required, but attendees must be able to work on their own. Most of the actual work on the costumes will be done at home outside of the clinics. Patrons will bring their costumes in to the workshops for help and ideas from our presenters, but the design, materials, making, assembly, and end result is completely up to the individual. The library has many books on costum-ing and cosplay, from superhero fabric

patterns in The Hero’s Closet: Sewing for Cosplay and Costuming (646.478 C741) to step-by-step demonstrations

in The Costume Making Guide: Creating Armor & Props for Cosplay (646.478 Q43), which, coupled with the clinics, provide an invalu-

able kick-start to any cosplay project. The best part is that patrons will be able to keep their costumes and learn new skills in how to make a costume. They will be able to meet experts in the field and network with fellow cosplay fans. And if their cosplay is good enough, maybe they’ll win a prize at a competi-tion this year!

Why should you come hear young adult author Neal Shusterman speak at the library? I could tell you it’s because he’s won so many awards: The Young Adult Choice award, the Horn Book award, sev-eral ALA awards, the National Book Award, and Utah’s Beehive, just to name a few.

Or maybe it’s because he’s prolific. The library has 33 different books by him, not counting anthologies and collections. He’s also written screenplays, television episodes, short stories, and music.

Maybe it’s because no matter what genre you like, he’s got a book for you: biography, realistic fiction, fantasy, science fiction, mystery, and thrillers. (OK, I guess if you’re a fan of westerns, you’re out of luck.)

Really, though, you should come hear him speak because he is amazing. You’ll never be bored reading a Shusterman novel, but you will find yourself diving deep into questions about love, death, faith, choices, and the division between right and wrong.

NEAL SHUSTERMAN: APRIL 25 | 12 PM | STORYTELLING WING

What is cosplay? Everyone who has ever gone trick-or-treating on Halloween has participated to some degree in cosplay. Or you may have seen the extreme examples made by fans for Comic-Con and conventions. “Cosplay” is consid-ered to be the practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game, especially one from the Japanese genres of manga and anime. People can create elaborate costumes for Hal-loween, for cosplay competitions, for live action role-playing, or just for fun. Some people simply enjoy the creative aspect of designing and tailoring a cos-tume and manufacturing the props and elements of a costume.

Cosplay and costume enthusiast Shan-non Babb will be presenting a monthly series of clinics and workshops through-out the year to guide cosplay-noobs through the process of creating their own cosplay design and production. From choosing your character to trou-bleshooting how to make the costume, Shannon will bring award-winning
