Writer-in-Residence Writing Circle

In-Branch Program

A writing group facilitated by the 2023-24 Writer-in-Residence, Jaclyn Desforges.

This hands-on workshop is for anyone who needs help carving out time and space for writing. We’ll meet for 90 minutes of creative camaraderie, writing prompts and (optional) sharing. This workshop isn't genre-specific and all experience levels are welcome, including total beginners. Bring nothing but yourself and your favourite pen. All writing will be done within the workshop.

About the library

Opened in May 1908, Barton Branch was first in the Hamilton Public Library system. The Branch occupied several permanent and temporary locations over the next 50 years, before it moved to its present location in November 1963. Barton Branch was most recently renovated in 2011.
