Kids can join us every Tuesday in November for a variety of fun writing activities, exercises, tips, and tricks to help hit their word count goals. We'll meet in the Learning Commons on the fourth floor of the Loussac Library. Best for Ages 8+

Fill In the Blank. A variety of writing prompts and activities to help you start thinking about writing creatively! - Tuesday, November 12, 4-5:30 PM
