For grades 3-8. Registration Required. Please contact Annabelle at aho.ddm@minlib.net with questions.

About Celina Yau: As a rising senior at Westwood High School, Celina has had the opportunity to be the first to create the Westwood Dentistry Club. She had the experience to discuss and shadow her local orthodontist, fueling her interest in dentistry. With this fascination, she will be the author and illustrator of a forthcoming children’s book on biology and dentistry. This book will be fully illustrated by Celina, as her interest in art has followed her through the years.
