Tuesday, November 7, 5-6 pm NaNoWriMo Lounge Join your fellow writers for some quiet, no-interruptions writing time at the library. NaNoWriMo is a yearly event where folks work hard to write a novel in a month. Sometimes they are able to do it, and sometimes not, but it’s the trying that truly counts. This year, Princeton Public Library is opening our doors to anyone who wants to come in and write or even discuss what they are doing with their books. The cafe area will be available for anyone who wants to talk about their book and bounce ideas off of each other. The back area, with tables, space for papers, and plenty of plugins, will be for people who want to spend this time writing.
