For those looking to finely hone their written craft, Las Cruces Public Libraries has rolled out an invitation to local scribes of all genres. The Thomas Branigan Memorial Library is set to host a creative writing program, "Creative Writers Unite," ensuring that the community's storytellers have a spot to collaborate and sharpen their pencils - and prose. The upcoming sessions are scheduled for April 2 and April 16, designed to be a bi-monthly gathering kicking off at 6 p.m. on the first and third Wednesday of each month, according to the City of Las Cruces.
Located at 200 E. Picacho Ave. and easily accessible via Roadrunner Transit Route 1, the Branigan Library Board Room will serve as the creative hub during these sessions. The initiative aims to inclusively assemble adult writers, though the doors are warmly open to the teen literati as well. Participants are encouraged to bring works-in-progress, whether starting, striving to finish, or simply improving a story for the daunting prospect of publication. This no-cost opportunity is a chance to essentially engage with peers and, just possibly, to eventually break into the competitive world of published writing.
The library is making an effort to ensure that the event is as accessible as possible to all interested parties. Individuals requiring disability accommodations to take part in "Creative Writers Unite" have been proactively asked to reach out to the library in advance. This notice comes with a reminder to call (575) 528-4102 or to use TTY 711, thus assuring that this community-focused event remains open and welcoming to all potential participants with diverse needs.
