Make 2017 the year you get your life experiences down on paper for your descendants. The library offers "Writing Your Life Stories" programs at the West Hernando branch on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays (there are two sessions: 10:15 to 11:45a.m. and an afternoon session from 3:00 to 4:30) and at the Main branch on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays, from 2:00 pm to 3:30. Come to get inspired and share your stories.
