In these hour-long workshops held over WebEx, published authors, poets, and playwrights will guide teens ages 13 - 19 in authoring their own work of creative writing based on a social issue that they are passionate about. All workshops are multi-genre (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and plays may be explored). Sessions are peppered with original and fun writing exercises to get the creative juices flowing and help writers to reflect on social issues impacting youth today.

Are you a non-native speaker of English who would like to practice your English language skills or build vocabulary? If yes, join us on Mondays and Wednesdays at 10 a.m. for virtual ESL Conversation Circles.

DC Public Library, in partnership with People and Stories/Gente y Cuentos: Reading Deeply in Community, invites you to participate in a program of reading and discussing short stories online.  Through oral readings and rigorous discussions of enduring short stories, participants find fresh understandings of themselves, of others and of the world.  We will meet via web conference on Wednesdays, noon – 1:30 p.m. The discussion will be facilitated by Janice Rosen, Librarian, Center for Accessibility, in American Sign Language and voice.
