Event List

Calling all adult aspiring Writers and Wordsmiths! 

Are you a new writer in search of support and encouragement? Have you already started down the writing path but repeatedly experience creative drought? Or perhaps you’d like to develop solid writing skills or find the perfect inspiration before taking another step on your writing journey. 

Join us for our Writers’ Group devoted to those who are relatively new to the craft of writing and would like to develop their skills, or to those who have just dabbled in writing but would like to take a deeper dive. 

We’ll explore various topics, including how to find your creative flow, build effective writing habits, and create momentum in your writing. Whether it’s working with writing prompts, learning tips and tricks from the masters, or sharing your writing in a supportive and enthusiastic environment, let’s honor that talent and discover where creativity (and practice) can lead us!

Join Technology and Makerspace Librarian Sarah Quinn and learn the basics of Tinkercad. Tinkercad is a free, online 3D modeling program that uses the constructive solid geometry method of building 3D models. Sarah will teach you the basics of Tinkercad as she guides you through a project. 

We will use Tinkercad on the public PCs, so all participants must have a basic understanding of how to use a computer. Due to the time it takes to 3D print, participants will return to the library at a later date to pick up their 3D-printed models.
