WILU 2024

In 2022, the USask Library launched the Creative Write/Ins program, which invites creative writers from the university and the broader community to come to the library to work on their projects. The program adopted an informal community of practice model, since it allowed for multi/directional learning, for everyone has something to contribute, from seasoned professional writers to those who write recreationally.

This presentation will discuss the evolution of the program, the lessons learned when moving from in/person to hybrid, and perspectives on how academic libraries can partner with the writing community. These findings are applicable to other disciplines.
