MUSKEGON HEIGHTS – On Oct. 26, the Muskegon Heights branch of the Muskegon Area District Library (MADL) will host a creative writing workshop for area teens.

This creative writing workshop is part of the annual Big Read Lakeshore Initiative, a fall program that gets community members involved in literacy activities.
