Community,
Are you a writer in

on Wednesday, June 26th at 11am for “Spark Your Creativity”
a creative writing workshop designed to inspire.
During this workshop
led by Judith Lindbergh of the Writer’s Circle, participants will use
a series of fun and innovative writing exercises and prompts as means
to explore their own creative expression. Participants will engage in
these interactive exercises designed to meet the goals of the program
in a positive and supportive atmosphere. Registration is required as
space is limited. You may register through the Library’s event calendar.
If you are looking
for more Creative Writing Workshops, we invite you to explore the
Library’s digital subscription to Udemy. Udemy offers thousands of on
