Library

Writing your own obituary is an opportunity to reflect on your life, your accomplishments (and foibles!), your passions, your quirks. What do you think people love about you? What do you want this world to remember about you? It’s a tough assignment for sure, but why not start a working document that you can edit through the years? Your family will thank you for it. Join us for a presentation that focuses on your personal legacy. Led by Jamie Passaro, a Eugene writer and editor who runs dear person obits, this workshop will help you prepare a thoughtful, well-written obit. Participants will walk away with a start to their obituaries and a pdf of Jamie’s 27-page booklet on obit writing and a free spot on Elegy.us, a website that features memorial tributes with words and photos. This is a virtual program that will take place on Zoom.

Green burial advocate Elizabeth Fournier returns to the West Linn Library to talk about natural burial, backyard burials, and other eco-friendly forms of disposition available in Oregon. She will discuss the history, regulations in Portland, and current green practices, highlighting the value of going out in green style. Participants will learn what meaningful green rituals and gatherings we can create to honor our loved ones, support our grieving, and care for the earth and future generations. All questions are answered by someone who not just talks about these topics but has made green burial her life's work and full-time job.

First Tuesday | Community Room | 5:30 PM- 6:30 PM

The Romance Book Club meets every first Tuesday of the month at 6 PM. Each month, we spotlight a different romance trope. Members bring any book they’ve read that fits the theme. No required titles, no stress, just great conversation.

As of 11/14/25, the Trillium Room is no longer available as a meeting and study space.  This area is being converted into a Makerspace that will feature 3D printers, a Glowforge, and additional tools and software to support design, fabrication, and creative exploration.
