||| FROM SAM GAILEY for ORCAS ISLAND LIBRARY |||
Immerse yourself in a unique blend of literature and lore about the San Juan Islands this Saturday, September 27, at 6 pm at the Orcas Island Public Library.
Curated story collections explore the rich and diverse legacies of the San Juan Islands. Contributors include Rena Priest, Jill McCabe Johnson, Anna Linzer, and Jessica Gigot.
Part story collection and part travel companion, each eye-catching volume begins with an anthology of “campfire stories”–from classic passages to original poetry, historical excerpts to fresh perspectives, treasured folk songs to local myths. Through the magic of storytelling, readers are deeply drawn into each distinctive terrain. These tales are then followed by a mini-guide: community-sourced recommendations for outdoor activities, cultural landmarks, and historical points of interest that will enrich the reader’s experience, as well as tips on how to best travel lightly and respectfully through these scenic and varied public lands.
