Your Writing Journey Begins with Your Public Library...

National Novel Writing Month began in 1999, challenging people to write 50,000 words of a novel in thirty days. Interested in joining the thousands of people from around the world in beginning your novel? We can help with that! Visit our Writer's Resources page, where we gather all of our writing resources together on one page. With Pressbooks Public, you can create, edit, and format your book and even share your work through BiblioBoard's Indie Author Project for even more exposure!

Through BiblioBoard Library's easy-to-use website or app for Apple, Android, or Kindle, you can enjoy digital books, images, videos, and more from libraries, artists, authors, and others from your community and around the world. Even better, there are never holds, waitlists, or complicated checkout processes. All items on BiblioBoard Library are always available.
