The Brigham City Library has announced two upcoming literary events, including a year-end open mic night featuring NaNoWriMo prize drawings and a specialized writing challenge scheduled for early 2027.
Year-End Open Mic and Prize Drawings
The Brigham City Library will host an Open Mic Night on Tuesday, December 1, 2026, to serve as a finale for NaNoWriMo. The event is scheduled to take place from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the library's Rooms 1 and 2, which are being used as a combined space.
During the December 1 event, participants have the opportunity to read a selection of work they have written throughout the year or listen to other writers. The library has indicated that the NaNoWriMo prize drawing will occur at the beginning of the evening, and participants or their designated representatives must be present to win a prize.
The library has set specific guidelines for those wishing to perform. Space for readers is limited to 20 individuals, with spots being assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Those interested in reading should select the option to do so during registration or contact Alisha at 435-723-5850. Each reading is expected to last between 3 and 5 minutes, though performance times may vary depending on the number of participants.
The library also noted that individuals who do not wish to perform may bring a representative to read their work for them. The event is open to a wide demographic, including adults, teens, families, and the general public.
New Year Writing Challenge
Following the year-end festivities, the library will host a Writing Challenge on Tuesday, January 12, 2027. This session is designed for writers to participate in a short, 15-to-20-minute writing exercise that includes a specific twist, such as a requirement to include or exclude certain elements from the writing.
The Writing Challenge is scheduled from 6:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the library's combined Rooms 1 and 2. To participate, individuals must bring their own writing device, such as a laptop, or traditional tools like a pencil and paper. The session will conclude with time for participants to share their work.
New Year Writing Challenge Registration Details Requirements
Registration is required for the January workshop. Interested participants must sign up in person, online, or by calling 435-723-5850 by 9 a.m. on Monday, January 11, 2027. The library has noted that the workshop requires a minimum of five pre-registered participants to proceed; otherwise, the session will be cancelled.
