Wednesday, January 15
5:00pm - 6:00pm

Explore journaling with the library and leave with a journal that works for bullet journaling. Available while supplies last.

Join the Fertile Public Library to explore different types of journaling; focusing on why to journal and short form options such as bullet journaling and line a day while touching on long form journaling, and writing prompts.

Ponder why to journal. Think about how you want to journal. Do you want to journal everyday? Just once in a while? Create long entries or just a line a day? Learn how to Bullet Journal? Create a journal to remember a journey you are talking? Deal with or work through something? To practice your art in? Log the books you read in a year? To see how you change over time? Think about what you want to get out of journaling. Journaling is personal to each individual.

The library has a limited number of journals for participants to try Bullet Journaling or a preferred style. There will also be colored pens and stencils on hand.

Find a book about journaling in our catalog.
