Library Writing Club
Congratulations to all of those students who participated in this year’s NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) contest! The group was very successful and each of the students have started a fantastic novel of their own. The time and effort they have put in has been astounding!
The students asked that they continue to meet and have the opportunity to work together to work on their novels. The result is that we are now going to be hosting a writing club once a month in the library! Listen to the announcements for details!
