Fines for Cans and Poetry Slam

This week (November 18th through 23rd), the library will be doing Fines for Cans--for every unexpired can of food you donate, we'll remove $1 off your fines, up to $20.  It doesn't apply to lost or damaged materials, but is a great opportunity to help those in need and knock down (or even pay off) your fines.  Even if you don't have any fines, donations are still welcome, and will help out the Rome-Floyd County Community Kitchen at this busy time of year.

Also, the Teen Advisory Board will be hosting a Poetry Slam on Thursday, January 16th--mark your calendars and get to writing--more details to come!

First NaNoWriMo Thursday tomorrow!

Tomorrow, November 7th, from 4:30 to 6:30, drop by the Children's Theater for our first NaNoWriMo Thursday!  Sometimes the hardest part of writing is finding the time, so we're giving you an hour and a half a week, for the first three weeks of the month (since we're closed on Thanksgiving, and...well, you'll be out of school and will have time to write then anyway ;) ).  You can bring your novel's 'soundtrack' and hole up with your headphones, or ask for input from other writers.  We've only got two outlets in the theater, so if you're bringing a laptop or other device, it might be best to charge it--or you can go out in the Young Adult area at the computer counter, since ours aren't in yet.  The important thing is to find what works for you and let the creativity loose!

TAB on Saturday the 16th

 

Coming......in two weeks
