Welcome to the Nelson Library Writing Group! We're thrilled to invite you to our creative gatherings where words come to life. Our sessions are held on the 4th Saturday of each month.

Don't fret! You can swing by the library to make them before our meet-up or send your work over via email, and we'll take care of the printing for you. Sharing emails means we can dive into each other's stories even before we gather, fostering an even deeper connection through our words.
For those spontaneous souls, last-minute attendees are always welcome! Just drop in and join us. If you're brimming with ideas or eager to be a part of this group, reach out to the library. Your thoughts and participation are valued and welcomed.

"The Bear" by Andrew Krivak is a poignant and lyrical story that explores themes of survival, nature, and the bond between a father and daughter. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, it follows the pair as they navigate their isolated existence in the wilderness. Through their journey, the narrative delves into deep reflections on life, loss, and the enduring power of memory. The story is both a celebration of nature and a meditation on humanity's connection to it, creating a rich tapestry of emotion and insight.
Whether you've read the book before or are discovering it for the first time, we welcome you to engage in a lively exchange of thoughts and insights. Mark your calendars, bring a friend, and join us for an enriching afternoon of literary exploration. We have copies of the book. They can be picked up at the library. We look forward to seeing you there!

Screening of "Goodbye to a House"
Nelson Town Hall Screening
‘Good-Bye To A House’, a documentary about Harrisville’s Seaver Farm, will be screening at
the Nelson Town Hall on Thursday, November 14th at 7:00pm. The film will be followed by a
Q&A with filmmaker Chris Hardee of High Cairn Films and Jodi Farwell of Farwell Farm, whose
essay about the house, published in the town newsletter Common Threads in Dec 2020/Jan
2021, served as the basis for the film. The 22-minute film is a lyrical account of an ordinary New
Hampshire farm caught in the current of history. At its heart, it is a personal inquiry into local
history, the caretakers of special places, and the importance of remembering. Admission is free.
DVDs will be available for purchase.
