Teen Street Team: Virtual FanFest
Plano Public Library’s Virtual Fan Fest was created by teens and for teens. Teen Street Team, PPL’s teen advisory board, created activities based on some of their favorite fandoms. Join us on Friday, July 9 to venture into a school of magic and mayhem, a faraway galaxy, and a magical land. During Virtual Fan Fest, you can explore these fandoms through an art activity, trivia, and a virtual escape room.
