StoryLab is a free, afterschool creative writing and storytelling program designed to help young people develop voice, confidence, and imagination through reading and writing.
Â
Through engaging prompts, collaborative activities, and guided mentorship from professional writers, participants explore poetry, fiction, personal narrative, and performance in a welcoming, community-centered space.
Â
Writers & Books is proud to partner with the Rochester Public Library System to bring StoryLab to youth at the Phillis Wheatley and Sully Branch Libraries, starting in the fall of 2026.
Â
More details and registration information coming soon.
Â
StoryLab is made possible through the generous support of:
• The Guido and Ellen Palma Foundation
During some seasons, we offer creative writing and other literary-themed workshops for youth on Saturdays, or camps during the February and April break weeks.
There are no upcoming programs at this time. Please check back for updates.
