NaNoWriMo

It's November!  That means it is time to celebrate National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo).  National Novel Writing Month began as a challenge to write 50,000 words of a novel during the thirty days of November.  Now, every year, thousands of people participate in this challenge and end up with 50,000 words of a new novel.  For more information on this event, visit https://www.nanowrimo.org/

The library is participating in NaNoWriMo by setting aside some space and time for anyone participating on their own.  We will have our conference set aside on Fridays in November at 4:45 PM.  There will also be an opportunity for those participating in the Young Writers version to check-in at 4:30 PM.  For more information on the young writers version, visit https://ywp.nanowrimo.org/.
