The New York Public Library will be celebrating 40 years of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Wednesday, October 16th with a panel comprised of TMNT veterans, a drawing workshop, and a writing workshop.

Join us for a shell-tastic celebration as we mark the 40th anniversary of one of pop culture’s most iconic franchises: the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! This dynamic panel will dive deep into the history, evolution, and cultural impact of Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael, the heroes in a half-shell who have captured hearts and imaginations for four decades.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the TMNT universe, this panel promises to be a celebration of heroism, humor, and the enduring appeal of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Grab your pizza, don your best turtle gear, and come celebrate 40 years of radical adventures and turtle power!
