Come to the Ledding Library on Saturday, Jan. 13th at 2 p.m. to celebrate the life and work of Oregon’s Poet Laureate. 

Each year, the Friends of William Stafford organization rolls out the red carpet to celebrate the late poet’s birthday with a full month of Birthday Celebration Readings. These events are held in communities throughout the country, and thanks to the initiative of Library Board Chair Greg Chaimov and Member Tom Hogan, the Ledding Library will host a celebration of its own. Free and open to the public, this event will offer old friends and new a chance to share in the spirit of William Stafford. Invited guest poets, including Rhonda McFaddin, Helen McNaughton and Paulann Petersen, will read first, followed by an open mike during which members of the audience are invited to read their favorite poem or share a memory. For more information please contact Greg at gchaimov@comcast.net  or Tom at tomhogan2@comcast.net .
