Whether you are regular wordsmith, or have been toying with story idea in your head for a while, NaNoWriMo can help bring your novel to life!
NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month, setting pens to paper (or fingers to keyboards), as writers globally embark on the challenge of writing 50,000 words of their novel throughout the month of November.
Creative writing can have many benefits including building your language skills through extending your vocabulary and understanding of grammar, increased confidence and ability to self-express, and finally, giving you the ability to think outside the box!
Libraries across South Australia run many programs suitable for children and young people. These upcoming summer school holidays are no exception, with plenty of councils offering a variety of programs to entertain and educate children.
We have collated some of the libraries who are running school holiday programs. We would encourage checking with your local council area first if an event is going ahead prior to attending.
