Libraries are not just about books.

Vail Public Library is one of the most visited places in Vail. Not only for its large collection of movies and books but for great free programming for all ages.
Evenings of Engagement, is a series of events aimed at adults, with the purpose of offering exciting, interesting, fun or educational experiences.
Over the years, Vail Public Library has presented local and national musicians, art and cooking workshops, living history about well-known characters from Colorado or the world, visits by authors who don’t tell their inspiration for writing and informative presentations about the region.

Best of all this programming is free.

CONCERT LINE UP

AUGUST 11 | Acoustic Eidolon

Acoustic Eidolon is what happens when you cross a guitar with 2 necks and a cello with attitude!! Acoustic Eidolon, featuring Joe Scott on double neck guitjo and Hannah Alkire on cello are from Colorado and have graced stages throughout the US, Europe, Australia and Canada. With eleven CDs and a DVD to their credit, these masterful artists continue to captivate audiences throughout the world with their signature “new acoustic” sound and boundless possibilities in blending Celtic, Folk, World & Latin music influences, something that Dirty Linen Magazine praises as “a sumptuous musical feast.” They are described by the Swallow Hill Music Association as “an evening of brilliant instrumentality,” and Georgia’s Good Life Magazine enthuses, “Acoustic Eidolon offers concert-goers a chance to absorb some of the most powerful and intriguing music on the scene today.”

AUGUST 18 | Raggedy Edge

Singer-songwriters Bob Farley and Lynn Perdzock believe their songs and music offer an upbeat, positive listening alternative. The duo has written, recorded and performed nationwide, bringing their own brand of folk-rock music to thousands. From love songs (of course) to cautionary tales of planetary survival, their music delves into their feelings for each other and the world around them.
Both Lynn and Bob began their musical journeys as children playing guitar and singing to various folk singers, rock bands, and even classic spirituals. When a chance encounter at an open mic in Ohio brought them together, they soon found out they both wanted to make their solo shows into duo shows. After a couple of rehearsals, they decided to combine their varied styles and abilities to become Raggedy Edge, a place where many kinds of music exist in harmony and peace, past, present, and future.

KUNC radio describes it as “knock-you-to-your-knees.” The Daily Camera describes her music as “shining…with lush harmonies,” and Westword Magazine says, “Her songs hit like little earthquakes!”
Rebecca’s voice pours from an inner source of honest emotion, flowing from lilting tenderness to fully liberated, unbridled release. Her poetic songs open your heart, setting free a vulnerability you didn’t realize was locked away and inviting you to embrace life with all of its joy, sorrow, passion, and love. She brings both a pure vocal quality reminiscent of old Appalachia and a blues prowess,
