Library

Thursday December 12, 4:30-6

Join us for crafting and hanging out! Supplies provided for gnomes and other fun things!

Join two Homer writers to discuss the joys and challenges of writing about historical events and individuals. How does a historian take the facts of a real person’s actions in a previous time and make them interesting and compelling to a modern reader?

Come and see what happens when a journalist and a novelist walk into a library!
