The Nelson Library Writing Group - this month Kris Finnegan will not be facilitating.

Welcome to the Nelson Library Writing Group! We're thrilled to invite you to our creative gatherings where words come to life. Our sessions are held on the 4th Saturday of each month.

Our group is all about the magic of words in various forms—poetry, fiction, or nonfiction. We encourage you to bring copies of your writing, keeping it within a 10-minute read. Not sure about copies? Don't fret! You can swing by the library to make them before our meet-up or send your work over via email, and we'll take care of the printing for you. Sharing emails means we can dive into each other's stories even before we gather, fostering an even deeper connection through our words.

For those spontaneous souls, last-minute attendees are always welcome! Just drop in and join us. If you're brimming with ideas or eager to be a part of this group, reach out to the library. Your thoughts and participation are valued and welcomed.

Let's embark on this literary journey together, weaving tales, painting landscapes with words, and creating a space where creativity thrives. See you at the Nelson Library!

For our April gathering, we’ll be cooking from the book Smitten Kitchen: Keepers

Here, in her third book, Perelman presents 100 new recipes (plus a few old favorites from her site) that aim to make shopping easier, preparation more practical and enjoyable, and food more reliably delicious for the home cook.

Come hungry and bring a dish inspired by the cookbook to share with the group. It’s a great chance to taste new recipes, share your favorites, and connect with fellow food enthusiasts.

Don’t forget to bring your dishes and cutlery. We can’t wait to taste the fantastic dishes you’ll prepare and celebrate the joy of cooking together!

You may get a copy of this months cook book from the library.
