Ten writers will read their works describing what “pandemic” means to them during the Writers Read Celebration, hosted by the Cannon Beach Library.

The Celebration begins at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20 on Facebook Live. Viewers do not have to be Facebook members. To access the program, go to the library’s website at www.cannonbeachlibrary.org and click on the banner at the top of the page. The event can also be accessed by going to the library’s Facebook page.

Works to be read include stories, poems, essays, a haiku and limerick. From November through January, the Cannon Beach Library asked local residents and visitors to submit entries on the theme, “Pandemic,” to be read at the Writers Read Celebration. The pieces were to be no longer than 600 words.

A five-member panel selected 13 pieces from 57 without knowing who wrote them. The writers range from Vancouver, Washington to Salem, Oregon and include many from Clatsop and Tillamook counties.
