Central Events ATake a slow walk around the Spokane River/waterfalls and then return to the library for river-related writing prompts. This event is inspired by the 2026 Spokane Is Reading book 'One, Two, Three.'
This fun and active writing workshop takes us on an enjoyable walk around Riverfront Park and returns us to the Central Library where we'll respond to river-related writing prompts. Writers of all experience levels are encouraged to attend. This workshop is inspired by October's Spokane Is Reading events and the Spokane Is Reading 2026 title, One Two Three by Laurie Frankel.
