We've got some awesome new things in the works for teens at the library! First, we have a great opportunity to learn from author Debbie DeShields as she teaches a monthly writing class. If you have ever wanted to write a novel, this is the class for you! As authors in the making, you are encouraged to bring some of your own work to share with the rest of the class. Don't worry, you aren't required to read your work to others if you aren't comfortable, but Ms. DeShields, as well as the other young writers always provide positive and helpful feedback. This workshop meets at 10:30 every second Saturday. Our next meeting, on November 10th will be a special two hour meeting from 10:30 to 12:30. The following class, meeting on December 8th, will resume our usual time from 10:30 to 11:30.
In addition to our writers workshop, we have been making plans at the library to start up our first Young Adult Book Club! This book club, designed for young adults ages 11 to 18, will start meeting in January. Meanwhile, we will have a planning meeting for the book club on November 10th at 12:30(following the writers workshop). Bring your book suggestions, and we will compile the list of books we will use for the book club. Pizza will be provided:).
