Join fellow writers in Mary Esther and the surrounding area for a special Summer Reading writing space. We will show up, sit down, and get words on the page.  No critiques. No sharing. No pressure. Just focused writing time alongside others doing the same.  After the session, you’re welcome to stick around for a few minutes to chat, connect, and build community.  Wherever you are in your writing journey, you’re not doing it alone. This is your space to write in the place where stories live.  Our 2026 Summer Reading theme is "Unearth a Story," so this event will be an opportunity to do just that.  TIME: Monday night, June 22nd, 5:30pm LOCATION: Mary Esther Public Library  WHAT TO BRING: Something to write with (notebook, laptop, journal, headphones if you need fewer distractions) Hosts: Kate West and Hunter Murphy Agenda Facility Submit Event Print Email Event Subscription View RSS Feeds Select on Calendar Expand Collapse Previous Next Down Up Map Share Show more Agenda $(window).on("load", function () { $('.icalDescription').urlToLink({ target: '_blank' }); }); var currentTextBox = null; var currentDatePicker = null; function hidePopup() { return currentDatePicker && currentDatePicker.hidePopup(); } //This method is called to handle the onclick and onfocus client side events for the texbox function showPopup(sender, e) { //this is a reference to the texbox which raised the event //see the methods exposed through the $telerik static client library here - http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/telerik-static-client-library.html var textBox = sender.tagName === "INPUT" ? sender : $telerik.getPreviousHtmlNode(sender); // hide previous pop-up if open textBox !== currentTextBox && hidePopup(); currentTextBox = textBox; } function dismissHook(e) { return (e.keyCode === 27 || e.keyCode === 9) && hidePopup(); } function handleKeydown(e) { dismissHook(e) || searchTextHook(e); } //this handler is used to set the text of the TextBox to the value of selected from the popup function dateSelected(sender, args) { if (currentTextBox != null) { //currentTextBox is the currently selected TextBox.
