The Library is excited to host a new adult group called Word Play. This will be a Writers' Group for those 18 and older, it will begin January 3rd, 2019 and meet once a month on the first Thursday of the month from 5:00 p.m. -7:00 p.m. at the library. Here is a statement from the organizer Marie Buckley: “If you like to write and would enjoy meeting with others to exercise your creative muse, this is the opportunity! Come and play with words at the library! Each meeting will begin with a short shared writing warm-up and then move into the monthly topic. We will discuss the topic, brainstorm ideas, and spend 20 to 30 minutes writing. After that, we will take turns sharing what we wrote by reading aloud. Participants will gain new ideas to write about and commit memories and life experiences to paper. This is not a critique group, but rather a time to create, move words around, and have fun”.
