At the library: A new month brings new activities

October has come to a close, and the library's teen section is getting ready for a new monthlong project. Inktober has ended, and the library is gearing up for National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo. Every year throughout the month of November writers of every age are challenged to start and complete a written novel by the end of the month. The library will be holding casual teen meetings during November and teens of all ages are encouraged to attend. In these meetings the attendees will help one another get over writer's block, help formulate ideas, and all together just have a great time writing. The point of NaNoWriMo isn't to have a perfectly written novel by the end, it is meant to get writers writing in a fun creative way. So, if you feel up for the challenge, come on over to the library and see what NaNoWriMo is all about.
