It’s National Novel Writing Month! Join us Thursday, November 1 to pick up NaNoWriMo swag, meet other ‘WriMos and kick-off your month of writing anytime 1:00 p.m. until closing.

On October 12, 1962, a windstorm fueled in part by the remains of Typhoon Freda struck the Pacific Northwest with deadly winds topping one hundred miles per hour.
The storm killed dozens, injured hundreds, damaged more than fifty thousand homes, and leveled enough timber to build one million homes. Join us for an author talk with John Dodge, former investigative reporter for The Olympian, as he reads passages from his new book about Typhoon Freda, “A Deadly Wind: The 1962 Columbus Day Storm.” This talk will include a slideshow and a question and answer session. A signing will follow the presentation, and copies of the book will be available for purchase.
Write a novel in one month! Get started this November with National Novel Writing Month, a seat-of-your-pants writing adventure, and churn out a 50,000-word novel in 30 days. Come work on your novel every Saturday in November at the Chehalis library with the moral support of fellow wrimos. Snacks and coffee will be provided by the Friends of the Chehalis Timberland Library to help fuel creativity.

“Support our troops” is a common phrase, seen on lawn signs and bumper stickers across America. Veterans are welcomed home by enthusiastic crowds, and thousands of service organizations help veterans find jobs, secure housing, and heal from the experience of war.
But it wasn’t always this way. Veterans returning from Vietnam were often greeted by mobs accusing them of being “baby killers.” Veterans from Korea felt their war was forgotten and unknown. And veterans from World War I, destitute during the Great Depression, were treated like criminals by their government.
Why and how has America’s treatment of its veterans changed over time? How have the country’s citizens responded to the call of duty from one war to the next? This presentation examines America’s relationship to wars and veterans over the last century, and what shapes our current national consciousness towards veterans and the wars they fight in our name.
*Contains mature themes.
