November is National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo (nanowrimo.org). All around the world, people will be scribbling and scrambling to get down 50,000 words between November 1 and 30, and the Brandon Library is here to help. Once a week during the month of November, the Library Meeting Room will be set aside as a quiet space to work on your writing. Tea and coffee will be provided. No need to register for Come Write-Ins. For more information, email Danielle@wmrl.ca

Children ages 3-5 are invited to share stories, action rhymes, fingerplays and crafts on a different theme each week. Parents/caregivers are welcome to browse in the Library, or to remain in the Program Room during Storytime. Sessions run for four weeks.  Registration is required.  Contact Children's Services at 204 727-6648 to register or for additional information.
