Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Ink & Stone Teen Journal Reception! It was a wonderful evening celebrating the creativity, talent, and hard work of our young writers. We are so proud of each contributor and grateful to the families, friends, teachers, and community members who came out to support them.

We can't wait to see what our talented writers create next year!

If you are a writer accepted for publication and were unable to attend the reception and pick up your complimentary copy of the journal, copies are available for pickup at the circulation desk at the Wagnalls Memorial Library during regular open hours.

Interested in additional copies? You can purchase the 2026 edition on Amazon:

For generations, summer at Wagnalls has meant stories, discovery, and community.

This year, we invite you to “Unearth a Story”—a 7-week journey into reading, creativity, and hands-on exploration. 🪨📚

Each week is designed to spark curiosity, encourage learning, and bring families together in meaningful ways. From the youngest readers to lifelong learners, there’s something here for everyone.

You never know what you’ll find… a new favorite book, a hidden talent, or a story that sticks with you forever.

Let’s start digging! Sign ups start Monday, May 18th in the Children's Library.
