Become a Friend of the Mayville Public Library

Posted on by

The FRIENDS founding officer is stepping down (NOT away!) to pursue a more behind-the-scenes role in supporting the Friends. We still need a president to take the reins. Could it be you? You don’t need to be an officer to be a FRIEND! Become a FRIEND for as little as $10 a year or FREE if you’re a teen! Join us in the Library Meeting Room on the 11th for some coffee, water, snacks, and/or sweets to find out more. Meet some of the other Friends! It’s an exciting time to be involved as a Friend of Mayville Public Library! Not only does the group continue to contribute to Library programming as it has for the past seven years by funding Summer Library Programs, the purchase of Teen materials, and a variety of staff-initiated events and programs. In addition, the group has pledged to set aside 50% of our fundraising for the Teen Section of the new Mayville Public Library.

NaNoWriMo Virtual Write-in November 1st

Posted on by
NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month, and it’s your chance to put that great idea for a novel on paper. The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write 50,000 words in the month of November. Pushing yourself to write so much in one month silences your inner editor and lets your creativity flow.
 
Participating in NaNoWriMo solo is no fun–but not to worry! Mayville Public Library is collaborating with the Writing Center of the UW-Madison to bring you opportunities join a community of aspiring and accomplished writers. Through workshops, pep talks, community write-ins, and more, you’ll have plenty of chances to meet writers of all abilities, learn writing strategies and tools, and build writing habits. We’ll even celebrate your accomplishments!
 
Help us kick off NaNoWriMo by attending our first virtual zoom write-in Monday, November 1st at 6 p.m. Register today: https://bit.ly/MVNanoWK1
