Are you interested in coding? Join us for We Can Code this Saturday! We Can Code is a workshop to teach and encourage teens to explore the basics of computer programming and web development in a self-paced, example-driven, supportive environment.
Workshops are on Saturdays from 1 to 3 p.m. in Meeting Room E on the 2nd floor of the Iowa City Public Library. Anyone in grades 7-12 is welcome to attend. No experience is needed--just bring your curiosity!
To me, The Collapsing Empire felt like a modern Dune with it's sprawling universe and political machinations. It also reminded me of Game of Thrones because of its multiple point of view characters. The author, John Scalzi, is very...I don't know, SCALZI-ish? He's definitely an author where you're either going to like him and his style or you're going to go somewhere else for your spaceship fix. I loved the book and am eagerly awaiting the next installment. -Brian
