Teen Writing Club In The Quad Cities
There s no shame in being bad at writing, but I am especially not talented in that department which is ironic considering I write articles as part of my job. That being said, it did make it a bit of a struggle in school. All the formatting, styles, punctuation, etc. I just couldn t seem to get down and I felt like there were no resources to utilize so I could learn the technicalities but still be able to express myself. If this sounds like something you or your kiddos would benefit from, think about joining the Teen Writing Club!

Rachel Spohn knows how important self-expression is for teens.
As Summit County Library’s teen services and social media librarian, she sees it in how they dress and what they listen to but Spohn also senses some uncertainty in teens when it comes to writing.
With those things in mind, Spohn has created the Summit County Library Teen Writing Club that is open to people aged 12 to 18.
The club, which will start in January and operate on the belief that everyone can write, is designed to be a safe place where teens can express themselves and share ideas, Spohn said.
