Writing workshops generally work best with 8-10 participants, however, we will run the workshops with as few as 6.

Is there fresh air?

The library room is a large space with high ceilings, steam heat, and windows that fully open, allowing for adequate ventilation, even in winter.

What guidelines will we follow?

We will follow city, state, and building guidelines as well as checking in with each other about comfort levels as guidelines continually change.

Will class ever be online?

Depending on the state of the pandemic, we may move classes online if meeting indoors is no longer safe, or if we are asked to do so by the city or by BSEC.
