Western Manitoba Regional Library

This Creative Writing Program follows a workshop model. This group meets virtually every two weeks to provide each other with feedback on works in progress. In the intervening weeks, participants email their work to Alex, who then distributes the writing to everyone in the group. No previous writing experience is required.

Meetings are held virtually on alternating Wednesdays from 7-9 p.m.

Submission deadlines for reading materials(limited to 1000 words) are due to alex@wmrl.ca on September 30, October 14 & 28, November 11 & 25

 

Virtual Story Time continues ! Follow @wmrlibrary on Instagram and join us every Thursday morning at 10:30 a.m. for stories and rhymes. Our videos remain accessible on our Instagram and Facebook pages for 24 hours after the Livestream so that you can tune in at your convenience.

All Book Clubs are self-run at this time and meet over Zoom or outdoors in a socially distanced manner (at the discretion of group members). Limited spots are available, please inquire with programs@wmrl.ca to be connected to a group!

At a Death Cafe, people gather to discuss death, with the objective of increasing awareness of death and helping people make the most of their (finite) lives. A Death Cafe is a facilitated discussion group, not a grief support or counseling session. There is no intention of leading people to any conclusion, product, or course of action. October's event will be held virtually. More details TBA.
