November is National Novel Writing Month!


And we are celebrating all things written word! Download a list of events here. 

  1. Bring your ideas and writing tools (or use one of our laptops) to our NaNoWriMo Write-In on Wednesday, November 14 from 7-9 p.m.  Plug into the energy of your fellow scribes, coming and going as you please.  We’ll have coffee and tea for you.  Teens welcome!
  2. On Saturday, November 17 at 3 p.m. in the Rotunda, take in the lively creations of the Boston Typewriter Orchestra.  Six typists combine performance, comedy, and satire to make music that’s utterly unique.
  3. On Sunday, November 18 at 3 p.m., catch the absorbing documentary California Typewriter, a provocative meditation on the changing dynamic between humans and machines, with the insights of such typewriter stalwarts as Tom Hanks, David McCullough, and John Mayer.
  4. Check out our exhibit of All Things Typewriter in the lower level display case.
  5. Then Sit Down at the Typewriter in our upper level foyer and share your thoughts!
