Monthly Writers Group

Do you consider writing to be a passion, hobby, or general interest? If that's the case, then our Monthly Writers Group might just be for you!

Every third Tuesday of the month at Atwater Memorial Library @ 10:30AM, please join us for a friendly discussion with likeminded writers of all levels, where you can share your work, as well as offer constructive criticisms and thoughts on other's writing.

These meetings will be facilitated by Rona, a writer with 40+ years of literature and writing teaching experience. If you are unsure of what to write, here are a few optional prompts:

"These are meant to offer some ideas for writing, not to limit you in any way. Feel free to ignore them entirely and write on whatever seems meaningful for you. Write in any genre you prefer: poetry, fiction, nonfiction/personal essay, etc. If you use a prompt, choose just one of these, and approach it from any angle that seems fun to you."

1. Write a piece inspired in some way by a color.

2. Listen to a favorite piece of music, and let it provide inspiration for your writing.

3. Think of a pivotal moment in your life. Write about it.

4. Consider some of the more memorable people you have met. Write about one of them.

Drop-in Tech Help

The Atwater Library is now offering 30-minute one-on-one tech help with Jared throughout the month. Perfect for folks that need a little assistance with new devices, creating accounts, downloading apps or accessing government sites. 

This will be on a first come first serve basis - if help extends the allotted 30-minutes you can always return for another drop-in time. Feel free to call ahead to detail your specific request. 203.315.6021.
