A Way Out and The Meeting Place partner to offer two free yoga classes weekly for individuals, friends, and families in recovery from addiction. Mats, blocks, and straps are provided. No registration required.

The library has a secret… after dark, the shelves come alive with whispers, shadows, and restless spirits. Once you get locked in, the only way out is to solve the riddles left behind by the ghosts who haunt the shelves. Race against the clock and other teams while following eerie clues, uncovering hidden messages, and unlocking the path to freedom before the spirits trap you forever. The first team to solve every puzzle and escape the haunted library wins a prize—and their lives back! Fail to make it out, and you just might become one of those restless spirits.

Registrations required. Sign-up in teams, or as individuals ready to jump in to assist another team.

La biblioteca tiene un secreto: Cuando oscurece, los estantes vuelven a la vida con susurros, sombras y espíritus inquietos. Una vez que las puertas se hayan cerrado, la única manera de salir es resolver los acertijos que los fantasmas que han encantado los estantes han dejado. En esta carrera contra el reloj y otros equipos, sigue las espeluznantes pistas, descubre los mensajes ocultos e intenta desbloquear el camino hacia la libertad antes de que los espíritus te atrapen para siempre. El primer equipo en resolver todos los acertijos y escapar de la biblioteca encantada ganará un premio — ¡y sus integrantes regresarán a sus vidas normales! Pero aquellos que fracasen en su intento por salir, pueden correr la suerte de convertirse en uno de esos espíritus inquietos.

Acompáñanos para la inolvidable grabación en vivo del podcast literario First Draft, presentado por Mitzi Rapkin, mientras comparte el micrófono con una estrella literaria en ascenso: Ruben Reyes Jr., autor de la galardonada colección de historias denominada ”There Is a Rio Grande in Heaven” (Hay un río Grande en el cielo) y “Archive of Unknown Universes” (Archivo de universos desconocidos).

Como finalista del premio literario Aspen Words en 2025 y candidato a recibir el reconocimiento PEN/Faulkner, el trabajo de Reyes Jr.’s es una osada exploración de la identidad, memoria e imaginación centroamericanas a través de todos los géneros. Con historias que cruzan fronteras de tiempo y espacio y una novela próxima a ser estrenada (“Archivo de universos desconocidos", ambientada a lo largo de líneas de tiempo alternas durante la guerra civil salvadoreña), Reyes Jr. le otorga una voz fresca y temeraria a la literatura contemporánea.

Ven a formar parte de una profunda conversación en vivo sobre la escritura, el legado y el poder de la narrativa para dar nueva forma al mundo. Ven temprano, puesto que el espacio es limitado, y quédate a disfrutar de la recepción posterior al evento.
