The 
Library has been committed to helping seniors write their memoirs through a highly anticipated seven-week Memoir Writing course. Many of the participants continue to meet monthly through the Library’s Monthly Memoir Writing programs. These initiatives have also resulted in more than a dozen events in which seniors have read short memoirs to the community, and the Library annually publishes books and video anthologies of memoirs. For more information email Adult Services Coordinator Mark Merlino: mmerlino@prpl.ca.
Seniors have great stories and wonderful life experience. With the Library’s help these local writers can share stories with their children, grandchildren, friends and fans, who learn things about them that they never would have known otherwise. Plus, more and more research is confirming the many benefits derived from memoir writing including increased social and emotional well-being!
