November is National Novel Writing Month, more commonly known as NaNoWriMo, and the Sturgeon Bay Library is participating. On Tuesday, a writer's workshop was hosted by local author Judy DuCharme focusing on how to put together a first draft in just 30 days. It sounds like a gimmick but Youth Services Librarian Beth Lokken says NaNoWriMo has spawned some impressive works.

The libaries will also be having a short fiction writing workshop later in the month which is an equally daunting literary challenge.
