Every November, writers around the world sit down with a bold goal: to finally write that novel. National Novel Writing Month—affectionately known as NaNoWriMo—is a celebration of creativity, storytelling, and the courage it takes to start (and finish!) something big. Whether you’ve got a story brewing in your mind or a half-finished manuscript waiting for attention, the Laramie County Library is here to help you make this your month to write.
This November, join us for two special programs designed to guide you from the first spark of an idea all the way to seeing your story in print.

Sundays, November 2, 9, & 16 | 1:00 – 3:00 pm | Cottonwood Room

Ready to bring your story to life? This three-part workshop is perfect for aspiring novelists who want to turn inspiration into pages.
