No Oregon Legacy talk this weekend

Due to a family emergency, Leni Zumas has had to cancel her appearance at Driftwood as part of Oregon Legacy on Sunday, March 15th. We regret that there will be no Oregon Legacy program this weekend.

Tomorrow's Oregon Legacy author reading sounds so interesting. Don't miss this presentation at 3 pm at the library on Sunday, March 8.

Elizabeth Mehren is a Portland-based journalist who worked at The Washington Post, then at the Los Angeles Times as a national correspondent. "I Lived to Tell the World," her fifth book, narrates the stories of 16 Oregonians –– 12 individuals and two married couples –– who survived some of contemporary history’s most atrocious events: the Holocaust, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Bosnian War, the Rwandan genocide, the Vietnam War. While writing it, she made deliberate choices to avoid graphic details of violence, focusing instead on her subjects’ determination to survive and the acts of kindness they encountered from strangers. The stories focus equally on the lives her subjects built for themselves afterward, including immigrating to Oregon.

The Friends of Driftwood library is proud to be a sponsor of this event and the entire Oregon Legacy author series. Join us every Sunday in March to hear from authors who live and work in our state.

Reminding you that Driftwood Public Library's presentation series focusing on the work of Oregon authors, "Oregon Legacy" starts its 2026 run tomorrow, Sunday, March 1 with a reading by Justin Hocking. A Portland-based memoirist, essayist, and professor, Justin's latest book, A Field Guide to the Subterranean was published by Counterpoint Press in 2025.

Please join us at the library at 3 pm for the first of this weekly series supported by the Friends of Driftwood Library.
