The Aurora Public Library has organized write-ins at their three branches for NaNoWriMo. Their original focus is the Young Writer's Program but they are generously opening their planned write-ins to NaNoWriMo participants as well. They apparently have PCs that people can use for these write-ins; or you are welcome to bring your own.
These write-ins will likely not have the precise flavor of our other write-ins; I don't believe that any of us MLs have the bandwidth to attend and facilitate them. I do believe, however, that Aurora librarians will be present to help out; and I introduced Angie to the concept of word wars, so I encourage you to go give them a try. :-)

How this happened
Angie Baugher, a librarian at the Aurora Public Library, contacted Limmenel (one of the friendly Chicago MLs) about write-ins that the library was offering; Limmenel contacted me; and then Angie and I spoke.
It is quite possible the Aurora Public Library will join the Naperville Public Library and the Plano Library as partners with our region for next year. :-) :-)

This is great news as I live within walking distance of this library and will definitely join them and encourage my teens in the household to check it out as well. Thanks for sharing!
