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.

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.
