POSTPONED DUE TO CORONAVIRUS PRECAUTIONS: Introduction to Memoir at the Boothbay Harbor
Memorial Library
On three consecutive Thursday afternoons (1:00 – 3:30 pm; March 12, 19, & 26), join nine other participants to begin work on a story you’d like to tell from your life. We’ll write during the workshop sessions, and I will also encourage you to continue your work between sessions and bring that in to share. We’ll also try our hands at some creativity games and memory-uncovering writing prompts. I’m very grateful to the library for sponsoring this workshop at no cost to participants. Total enrollment: 10. Contact the library at director@bbhlibrary.org or 207-633-3112 to sign up.
