Amnesty Month STARTS
Amnesty Month STARTS
N/A
April 3, 2022
In celebration of National Library Week, Vail Public Library will again offer Amnesty Month from April 3 - 30.This is an effort to recover overdue library materials by offering a “fine free” month. We encourage the return of needed library materials and promote increased use of the library. While some materials are simply lost, a great many are still in the hands of the patrons who checked them out. With a "no questions asked" amnesty period, the embarrassment and fear of paying large fines as obstacles to the return of long-overdue materials will be removed.
The amnesty does not include overdue fines still on record from previously returned materials, nor does it include fines for lost and/or damaged items.

National Library Week is an annual celebration highlighting the valuable role libraries, librarians, and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening our communities.The theme for this year’s National Library Week is “Connect with Your Library”, which promotes the idea that libraries are places to get connected to technology by using broadband, computers, and other resources. Libraries also offer opportunities to connect with media, programs, ideas, and classes, in addition to books. Most importantly, libraries also connect communities to each other.
This week, Vail Public Library (VPL) encourages all community members to visit their library in person or online to explore and access services and programs. VPL offers a wide array of programs and resources that are available in person or from the comfort of homes, such as Storytime’s, music concerts, digital items and databases, virtual book discussions, and virtual Yoga.

April 6, 2022
Born and raised in the heart of Washington DC, Natalie took after her father, a Jazz and Classical pianist, and began playing piano at age five.
Natalie’s original compositions are a home-grown recipe of honest lyricism, soulful melodies, and hypnotic body percussion. Drawing on the roots of Americana, including Old-time and Jazz, she brings to life the history of these traditions with her own voice and nuance. Her music offers listeners the space to both venture into the intimate corners of humanity and to rest easy under the strength of strings. -

Join us each month for a fun and lively virtual book club experience!We meet on the second Wednesday of the month via Zoom.
Email Lori Barnes at lbarnes@vailgov.com for an invitation to the monthly Books ‘n’ Bites.Daniel Abe, a young doctor in Chicago, is finally coming back to Hawai'i. He has his own reason for returning to his childhood home, but it is not to revisit the past, unlike his Uncle Koji. Koji lives with the memories of Daniel’s mother, Mariko, the love of his life, and the scars of a life hard-lived. He can’t wait to see Daniel, who he’s always thought of as a son, but he knows the time has come to tell him the truth about his mother, and his father. But Daniel’s arrival coincides with the awakening of the Mauna Loa volcano, and its dangerous path toward their village stirs both new and long ago passions in their community.
Alternating between past and present—from the day of the volcano eruption in 1935 to decades prior—The Color of Air interweaves the stories of Daniel, Koji, and Mariko to create a rich, vibrant, bittersweet chorus that celebrates their lifelong bond to one other and to their immigrant community. As Mauna Loa threatens their lives and livelihoods, it also unearths long-held secrets simmering below the surface that meld past and present, revealing a path forward for them all -
