Bob Lucas Memorial Library and Literacy Center - Literacy Center

Join Saved by a Story's free, prompt-driven community writing group for survivors of the Eaton Fire.

Come together in community to write about the cherished places we have been, what we have lost (and found), and how we will chart a way forward. Ignite your creativity, share your stories, and find connection in this non-judgmental and creative environment.

Please arrive 5 or 10 minutes early to get settled, as we start the group promptly at 2pm. Bring a notebook (nothing fancy) and a pen.

Saved by a Story is a non-profit that hosts free community writing workshops for under-resourced and under-served populations to empower voices and build connection.
