What DOES that place look like?

We all form our own images from descriptions as we read. What does your favorite fantasy or science fiction world look like? Maybe you have a picture of the Shire in your mind. Or maybe you can picture the floor plan of Hogwarts Castle? Do you have any idea where the districts of Panem are located? How about the island in Nation?

Help us make an atlas of the fantasy / science fiction world! Draw a map of what you think the setting of your favorite world looks like and bring it to any branch of the Warren County Library the week of October 13 - 17. We will put them on display during Teen Read Week, October 18 - 24. See the Teen Read Week page of the library web site for more information.

All maps received will be compiled into an atlas. Everyone who submits a map will receive a copy of the atlas.
