MENTONE — The Bell Memorial Public Library will host the following programs in November:

Join the library for Story Hour at 10 a.m. every Friday. Children listen to a story, sing songs and make a craft.

Join the library at 1 p.m. Monday, Nov. 12, for Movie Monday. The library will be showing “Pumpkin Wars.” Popcorn and beverages are provided.

What is NaNoWriMo? National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to creative writing. On Nov. 1, participants begin working towards the goal of writing a 50,000-word novel by 11:59 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30. Valuing enthusiasm, determination, and a deadline, NaNoWriMo is for anyone who has ever thought about writing a novel. If you’d like to register to sign up go to the NaNoWriMo website and it’ll walk you through it. You don’t have to register to take part, as the goal is to have fun and write. The librarians here at Bell Memorial Public Library would love to hear about your book or story ideas.
