The downtown Klamath County Library and Klamath County Public Health are teaming up to help our community better understand Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) with a pair of events in May.
Visit the downtown Klamath County Library for a new monthly event – hands-on workshops with medieval history buffs from the Society for Creative Anachronism! Join us for “Time Travel Tuesdays” on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 5pm. We’ll be meeting on Tuesday, Mary 23rd to learn all about inkle weaving!
Discover the joys of nature writing with author Marina Richie! The downtown Klamath County Library is hosting “Come to Your Senses: Nature Writing for Adults” on Saturday, May 20th from 1 pm to 3 pm.
Richie will walk participants through engaging all five senses to take in details from the environment. She’ll take you through writing activities to stretch your vocabulary, jazz up your sentence rhythm, and broaden your metaphors.
Whether you’re working through grief or making end-of-life arrangements, conversations about death and dying are very important – and, often, awkward to have. Local death doula Marci McEnroe is hosting a monthly gathering at the downtown Klamath County Library to help you get comfortable with these topics: join us on Wednesday, May 24th at 6 pm.
All Klamath County libraries will be closed on Friday, May 19th, so that staff members can attend an all-day inservice training. No materials will be due on a date that the libraries are closed.
For more information, call us at 541-882-8894, or see our events calendar at klamathlibrary.org/library-events-calendar.
The creative writers group for adults is back at the downtown Klamath County Library! The revamped group will meet on the first and third Wednesdays of the month from 2 pm to 3 pm, and it’s open to anyone who wants to improve their writing skills in a positive environment. No previous writing experience necessary!
We’ll have writing prompts and discussion to get you going, and feel free to bring in something you’re working on to workshop with the group.
The Library Advisory Board meets at noon on the third Wednesday of each month. Interested members of the public are welcome to attend.
The Board is meeting both online and in person. If you would like to attend in person, please call the library at 541-882-8894 ahead of your visit.
