So You Want to Write & Publish a Book. Now What?

Posted on October 19, 2017 by Katie Auman in Library Blog, Library Services, Writing

The Martian. Still Alice. Eragon. Once We Were Brothers. Fifty Shades of Grey. Most likely you’ve heard of a few of these best-selling books. Maybe you’ve even seen the movies.

NaNoWriMo Basics to Kick Start Your Novel

Posted on November 3, 2016 by Library Staff in Library Blog, Writing

It’s here. It’s time. Stretch out those typing fingers, sharpen your pencils, and hook up the caffeine IV.  It’s NaNoWriMo!

NaNoWriMo Begins!

Posted on November 5, 2013 by Library Staff in Library Blog, Library Services, Local Happenings, News
