[5]November is National Novel Writing Month, and the library has lots of resources to help you participate!

Our databases [6] are free to anyone with a library card and may aid you with your research. Plus, you can now reserve a study room [7] in advance.

Of course, we also have many books with advice about how to write your own novel, ranging from style manuals like Strunk and White's The Elements of Style [5] to advice about how to improve one's writing. There are materials to help you find a publisher, such as The Writer's Little Helper [8], as well as writings by well-known authors like Stephen King [9] and Joyce Carol Oates [10]. 

We're happy to help you find the materials to craft the next great American novel!
