Smyrna Writers

We're looking forward to our write-in this Saturday at noon! We're conflicting with our Scholastic book fair, so we'll be stationed in the library work room. Just stop by the circ desk, and we'll get you where you need to go!

Attention children's writers! There's a new agent in the business out of Dystel & Goderich. Link's below!

Couple of weeks? How about in the next hour? I've already seen this all over twitter. A very warm welcome to you, John! And good luck. :)

It's official! The whole library system is closed so our meeting is (obviously) canceled. Forget the skis, looks like we'll need ice skates to get around today!

Smyrna branch closed early today due to inclement weather. We're not sure what's going to happen tomorrow - depends on how the storm plays out today and tonight. In the case of systemwide closing, the news'll be on WGNS in the morning. I'll also post here and on the Yahoo group in the morning to let you know what's gong on with our meeting.

Just a reminder! This is a five Saturday month, so we won't be meeting this Saturday. (Although the fabulous author Michael Lee West will be at SPL at 1:00!) Our next meeting is January 30th at noon!
