Featured Program Series For details, visit pickawaylib.org Mapping Our Way Home: A Creative Writing Experience with Wendy McVicker With a grant for Creative Aging, the Pickaway County Library will host a sixsession creative writing workshop for adults 55 and older. Wendy McVicker, Ohio author and former poet laureate of Athens, Ohio, will guide the sessions. Participants will learn creative writing techniques to identify personal stories that can be developed and distilled into short and pithy pieces of writing. A variety of techniques will help participants explore and share stories in a supportive environment. Participants will share their work and encourage one another from 10AM to 12PM on Thursdays at the Main Library beginning Sept. 19. Registration is limited and can be done in advance online or in person at any Pickaway County Library location. The last session will be at the Pickaway Senior Center on Oct. 31 where participants will invite family and friends to share their readings to widen the circle of connection and community. Wendy McVicker is a former poet laureate of Athens, Ohio, and the author of several books of poetry, including the dancer’s notes (2015); Sliced Dark, a collaboration with visual artist John McVicker (2018; Zero, a Door (2022); the collaborative Stronger When We Touch with poet Cathy Cultice Lentes (2023); and the forthcoming Alone in the Burning (2024). Her work has appeared in numerous journals and anthologies, including Pine Mountain Sand & Gravel, Women Speak, Gyroscope Review, and the Northern Appalachian Review. Creative Aging is based on multi-session, hands-on, skill-based arts workshops where participants gain a sense of accomplishment and the chance to forge new relationships. Project funding provided by the Ohio Arts Council, through a grant from the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies in collaboration with E.A. Michelson Philanthropy.

Featured Service For details, visit pickawaylib.org Technology Trainer Available at Pickaway County Library Through a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the State Library of Ohio, the Pickaway County Library has a Guiding Ohio Online Technology Trainer two days a week. Andrew Hewetson will be available to help patrons every Thursday at the Main Library from approximately 10AM to 6PM. Each Tuesday he will be available at the Pickaway Senior Center, 2105 Chickasaw Drive, Circleville, from 9AM to 11:30AM; and then at the Younkin Branch Library on Tuesday afternoons. He is accepting one-on-one appointments to help individuals with online forms, online shopping, exploring the internet, or simply feeling confident with basic computer skills.

Hewetson has 13 years of museum education and management experience with the Center of Science and Industry in Columbus. “I’ve developed a passion for making technology accessible and engaging for people of all ages,” he states. His tech journey began with a love of gaming and sparked a lifelong curiosity about computers and digital technology. He has watched technology go from an exciting novelty to a necessity over the last 20 years, and witnessed the difficulties some folks have with acclimating to such rapid development. This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the State Library of Ohio.
