North Webster Public Library News And Events
NORTH WEBSTER — Do you enjoy writing creatively? Looking for an opportunity to share your writings? Then join Writer’s Corner held at 10 a.m. the third Monday each month at North Webster Community Public Library. A writing assignment is given each month. At the Feb. 20 meeting, members will share short stories they have written set in their favorite historical period. You don’t have to be an accomplished writer to enjoy Writer’s Corner, just someone who likes to write. By sharing with other writers, members gain constructive feedback on their work and encouragement. Anyone interested is welcome to attend the Feb. 20 meeting and see what it’s all about.
