Get Metamorpho-sized in March!

Teen Programmers - Mark your calendars for the afternoon of March 12th!

Join us on Wednesday, March 12th at NFLS for a "Teen Summer Swap." More and more of you are starting to focus on teen programs for summer, so this will be your chance to swap stories, brainstorm and receive a presentation from Linda Jerome, who does Youth Services at LaCrosse Public Library! Linda gave a presentation at the Wildlife Sanctuary a few weeks ago, and she has great ideas!

More info coming soon!

Young Writers Program at the Lena Library

Attention all of you young writers out there!

The Lena library will be working in collaboration with Nanowrimo in the month of November to help you create a novel in 30 days! What is Nanowrimo you ask? They are a non-profit organization that sponsors libraries and schools during national novel writing month in November of every year. This is the library's first year participating, so come help make this program a success. Our "novel writing kits" are on their way, and preliminary materials can be picked up right now. So come by and sign up!

For you computer savvy independent sorts, you can even bypass the library and sign up independently online at http://ywp.nanowrimo.org. Make sure to enter Lena Public Library as your host agency, and you will be ready to roll. In the last few years, participants who completed a novel got one published copy for free. Everything starts November 1st, so don't lose any precious writing time. Stop by the library to sign up and pick up your materials or call Jennifer Thiele at 920-829-5335 to find out more about this program.

And for you writers of every age group, please remember that the library has a writers club that meets the third Monday of every month at 5:30pm. There is one in November, and is a perfect time for you to discuss your work in progress. We hope to see you at the library!
