Writers Group
Silver Falls Library Writers Group meets on the third Thursday, of each month
​from 6:30 to 8:00 in the library's program room.


For those who have not attended one of our meetings we’re a group of local writers who enjoy sharing our work and getting inspired by what other writers are creating.  We have poets, novelists, short-story writers, and essayists, all with varying degrees of experience.  If you’d like to share what you’re working on or just listen in to see what others are writing, please plan to join us!   For additional information please contact Ron Drake @ 503-873-8796 or email [email protected].
