MIIS-Library

In this weekend writing retreat, a small group of interested students, faculty, and alumni will gather to work intensively on writing projects of their choice. Time will be divided between individual writing activities on the second floor of the library, collaborative consultation and discussion before and after the Saturday and Sunday sessions, and shared breaks for snacks and meals. The design of this retreat follows that of the longer retreat at the end of August this year.

Magnus Toren has been the Director of the Henry Miller Memorial Library, a nonprofit art center and book store in Big Sur, since 1993. Prior to making landfall in area, he circumnavigated the globe, delivering yachts across five of the seven oceans of the world.

The Library is launching an educational game collection with SCRABBLE games in English, French, German, Russian and Spanish! Tables will be set up for each language. Join the game of your choice – using your first or second language. We’re changing the rules - allowing pairs to work together and to use our awesome dictionaries. Location: MIIS Library
