Young Book Writers Club members spent the month of November making Christmas cards for one of their favorite projects. Cards were made by club members, along with the support of a few adults and the library, to be sent to participants of the Taylor County Senior Citizen Center homebound programs and the residents of the Taylor Healthcare Center. Altogether, over 190 cards were made and are being distributed across Taylor County just in time for Christmas. The following pictures are just a few examples of the cards club members made this year.

The first October meeting of the Young Book Writers Club was the largest we’ve had in attendance yet! We had 12 members and 3 littles along with a bunch of parents. How fantastic!

YBWC members created pumpkin characters. These characters are currently on display in the Kids Section of the Taylor County Library.

YBWC members have been challenged to write a bizarre one-page story with their pumpkin being their main character. Writing challenges are due at the next club meeting on October 21st.

Over the summer the Young Book Writers Club focused on Comic Books! Our young authors had fun creating characters (Boy, did they ever!), learning about text bubbles onomatopoeia, and just spending time writing stories with friends. Check out their creativity posted on their bulletin board found in the Juvenile section of the Taylor County Public Library!

Happy Valentine’s Day from the Young Book Writers Club!

Our young authors February challenge was to write a poem for Valentine’s Day. The group made a poster displaying each of their poems and gave it to the library.
