Writing Group at T.B. Norton Tomorrow

By on August 29, 2011 in Library News
Fanfiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse
by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker.
They don’t do it for money. That’s not what it’s about.
The writers write it and put it up online just for the satisfaction.
They’re fans, but they’re not silent, couchbound consumers of media.
The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own
language.
—Lev Grossman, TIME, July 18, 2011
Prompt:  Fanfiction, 5 pages or less.  Short fiction, poetry,
whatever.

You write? We write.

June Artist of the Month: Barbara Curtis

By on July 19, 2011 in Library News

For the month of June, the work of local artist Barbara Curtis will be on display throughout the library.

Barbara has won many awards and has paintings hanging in collections in the United States and in Europe.  She won her first blue ribbon at the Riverside County Fair (California Date Festival) in 1965.  After college, she pursued a career and raised a family, and didn’t take up painting again until 1990, when she took up watercolor.  Barbara is a mostly self-taught artist, but she has participated in workshops with nationally known watercolorists Judi Betts and Chris Van Winkle. . . .

Fun Times at ALA

By on July 18, 2011 in Library News

The library ladies just got back from attending the American Library Association’s 2011 Annual Conference, and we all had a blast!

We learned a lot, got to meet some cool people, and had a great time in the Big Easy.

After all the fun, though, we’re glad to be back home at Thomas B. Norton Library!
