Voorheesville Library Notes for Thursday, July 7, 2022
Veera Hiranandani
Are you a budding writer interested in being inspired and learning techniques from an award-winning author?
Veera Hiranandani will join us via Zoom for a thought-provoking writing exercise sure to get those creative juices flowing! The library will be partnering with the Cole Summer Writers Institute for this author-led portion of the week-long workshop.
Copies of Hiranandani’s books will be provided to all registrants thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the Library, and the author’s presentation is funded by a Voorheesville Community and School Foundation mini grant. This program, for students entering grades 6 and up, will be held at the Clayton A. Bouton High School at 10 a.m., on Wednesday, July 20. Please register on the library event calendar.
