Supporting Young Writers at the Library

With NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month traditionally focused on November) right around the corner, you may be planning some fun writing sessions with kids and teens.

In a recent ALSC blog post, Chelsea Roos shares some creative writing ideas to try with kids. She writes: "I love to put on creative writing programs at the library. Kids are natural storytellers, but as they grow up and move through the school system, many of them come to believe that writing is all about having correct spelling and grammar. But a library program can focus on the fun side of writing, throw away the so-called “rules” of writing, and help young writers bring back their creative spark."
