Middleburgh Library Notes for Tuesday, June 29, 2021

An exciting project for teens starts on July 5 at 1:30 p.m.: The Hundred Author Story.

Do you like to write? Do you have great ideas for a story?

Check out our Hundred Author Story journal with your library card — the first paragraph of the story is written. You have three days to write the next paragraph. Return the journal so someone else can write in it and add to the story.

We’ll keep passing it around all summer so we can complete the book. When it is finished, it will be added to the library collection for others to borrow. You may work on the Hundred Author Story from July 5 through Aug. 16. Registration is required.
