Creativity: Offering a structured, safe, and supportive environment for creative writing and storytelling. Legacy: Creating a record of personal histories, giving voice to a variety of perspectives. Process and Approach Be kind, respectful, and patient with one another. We adhere to the library’s patron behavior policy. Use the facilitator’s writing prompts found below or write off-topic from the prompt. Everyone’s stories must be written or typed out. All handwritten or electronic documents are welcome. There is a two-page limit. Be mindful that everyone has time to share. You can always break up longer stories into multiple parts to share at another meeting. It is okay to read writings you have already read in the past. Feel free to provide additional explanation about your writings, but please…
