PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The newest Dog Man graphic novel, "The Scarlet Shedder," comes out in March and the Berkshire Athenaeum, Pittsfield's Public Library, is throwing a "Supa Epic" party to celebrate.

 

The Dog Man Party will kick off with a trivia contest on Saturday, March 23, 2024 at 10:30 am. Winners will receive a copy of a Dog Man graphic novel.

 

The event, which ends at noon that day, will also include button making, Dog Man hat making, Petey's secret lab, comic book creation, snacks, a scavenger hunt, and more.

 

"The Dog Man books are incredibly popular," said Youth Services Supervisor, Sara Russell-Scholl. "In 2023 the Dog Man graphic novels were the most checked out titles in all of the Children's Library. The library's Dog Man Party is a chance for Dog Man supa fans to meet with other supa fans as well as a way to encourage a life-long love of reading. Children become engaged and invested when we celebrate the books they love."

 

The Dog Man Party will take place at the Berkshire Athenaeum, One Wendell Ave. Pittsfield, MA 01201. This free event will take place in the Library's Auditorium from 10:30 am to noon

 

Best for families with children ages 6 – 12 and siblings are welcome. Note that children under the age of ten must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Sponsored by the Friends of the Berkshire Athenaeum.
