    Category: Adults Sensational & Super Seniors @ your library


    May 8, 2019

    Every May, the Administration for Community Living leads our nation’s observance of Older Americans Month. The 2019 theme, Connect, Create, Contribute, encourages older adults and their communities to:

    • Connect with friends, family, and services that support participation.
    • Create by engaging in activities that promote learning, health, and personal enrichment.
    • Contribute time, talent, and life experience to benefit others.

    Springtime enlivens the forests of our beautiful Rocky Mountains. Colorado's culturally modified trees (CMTs), have been altered but not permanently harmed for a specific purpose. The Ute Peoples of Colorado practiced cultural modification on various pines, junipers and even aspen. Join us in the library’s Community Room for a presentation on CMT’s, with light refreshments & the company of great friends. Folks who have difficulty walking longer distances may be dropped off at the front doors of the library.

     

    Books 'n' Bites - “The lovely bones: a novel” by Alice Sebold

    Category: Adults Books 'n' Bites - “The lovely bones: a novel” by Alice Sebold


    May 8, 2019

    Once in a generation a novel comes along that taps a vein of universal human experience, resonating with readers of all ages. THE LOVELY BONES is such a book — a #1 bestseller celebrated at once for its artistry, for its luminous clarity of emotion, and for its astonishing power to lay claim to the hearts of millions of readers around the world. “My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973.” So begins the story of Susie Salmon, who is adjusting to her new home in heaven, a place that is not at all what she expected, even as she is watching life on earth continue without her — her friends trading rumors about her disappearance, her killer trying to cover his tracks, her grief-stricken family unraveling. Out of unspeakable tragedy and loss, THE LOVELY BONES succeeds, miraculously, in building a tale filled with hope, humor, suspense, even joy.
