Write Here, Write Now! | 03/02/2026 | 7:00 pm-9:00 pm

Write Here, Write Now!

Welcome to “Write Here, Write Now”!

Join this series of workshops for people who love to write in English and don’t mind sharing what they’ve written (although this sharing is not mandatory). We’ll explore different themes and genres. Keenan Brown, a library volunteer, will guide you through different ways to stimulate your writing and keep you inspired, all in the company of lovers of literature.

“You can make anything by writing” (C.S. Lewis). Following Lewis’s invitation, let’s explore the world at large, as well as your own secret gardens through words… all while discovering the unknown realms of the writing of others.

Workshops will be run Tuesday evenings from 7 pm to 9pm at the library once a month. They are free for library members (maximum of 10 participants). For more information and/or to sign up click this link!
