Centralia Timberland Library

46 years ago today, the sky went dark.
Some remember and most of us have heard the stories—the ash, the heat, and the day the mountain changed forever. But there is so much more to the story than what we saw on the news. Join us on May 30th for a special event with Captain Mike Cairns, author of Under the Ash. He'll be taking us into the devastation to share his incredible first-hand accounts of the 1980 eruption and the over 600 search, rescue and recovery missions he was a part of.

Mike will be visiting both the Chehalis and Centralia Libraries on May 30th.
Mark your calendars:
