NANOWRIMO

National Novel Writing Month kicked off on November 1st and continues all month for thirty days and nights of literary abandon! It's a hands-on writing adventure where everyday people all around the world bash out a 50,000 word novel in 30 days--that's just 1,667 words a day! No judges or entry fees. Just a whole lot of fun.

Spencer Public Library is here to support you in your writing endeavors. We can help with last minute research, inspire new plot ideas, and even provide a quiet space to work. More details on what National Writing Month (Nanowrimo) is and how you can write a novel this November can be found by calling the library at 580-7290 or by visiting the official website at www.nanowrimo.org .
