This year we are introducing LUNCH AND LEARN sessions for adults.

What are they?

These are programs that are presented during the lunch hour for those busy people that have trouble getting to evening sessions.

Your bring your lunch to the library and participate in whatever is scheduled.

Our first one is in conjuction with Culture Days. Your librarian received a grant for this program.

We are featuring Julie Djambou teaching us Bend Skin Dance on Sept 29 at - you guessed it- NOON!!! This is a traditional Cameroonian dance.

It is actually a fairly simple dance if you have some rhythm (I have to laugh at this because of my Irish heritage). Pretty much anyone can manage at least some of the moves.

Come for some laughs, movement and learning about other traditions.

Note: suggestions for future lunch time programs are welcome. We could even see about providing lunch.

We received a free game from Cards Against Humanity!!!

They give away games to libraries who ask for them. Of course I asked!!!

It is available for check out. The reviews seem to say laughter is a certain outcome.

We talk a lot about the craft of writing and the business of writing. But what is it that connects the two, and why do we avoid exploring this liminal space? This interactive session unfolds as a creative experiment, answering the question: Can we really design a creative practice that fits into and enhances our lives? By the end of this 2-hour workshop, writers will have a mind map sketch (in their own lexicon) that highlights what their own liminal space can look like, and how this liminal space can become the missing piece in their own craft and business of writing toolkits.

This session is facilitated by award-winning writer and creative practitioner Chelene Knight,

Wednesday October 14 from 6:30-8:00 pm via Zoom.

Price for workshop: $25 for SWG members, $45 for nonmembers. Register here: https://skwriter.com/events-and-workshops/explore-the-liminal-space-between-the-craft-of-writing-and-the-business-of-writing-with-chelene-knight

Remember, you don't have to be in SK to be a member of the SWG!
