Oregon Legacy Series

Join us for the longest-running literary series on the Central Oregon Coast on Sunday afternoons in March.

In 1994, Driftwood Public Library completed its move into its current location at the City Hall building at Lincoln Square. To celebrate the library's new home and to thank the community for all of its support during the transition, The Friends of Driftwood Public Library created a gift for the community. With little resources beyond the income from their occasional book sales, the Friends underwrote the first literary series ever presented in Lincoln County: Oregon Legacy. Each year they have renewed that sponsorship. Every March the library has continued to bring renowned Oregon writers, of both Fiction and Non-fiction, to Lincoln City to speak to local readers.
