“Ute Culturally Modified Trees” A Virtual Presentation with Lynn Albers, Vail Public Library’s Local History and Ethnobotany Specialist

April 1, 2021
Learn about trees that are living artifacts created by the Colorado Utes. A culturally modified tree (CMT) may be described as a tree that has been altered by an indigenous people, such as the Utes, for a specific purpose. Cultural modification of trees includes peeling the outer bark to obtain the precious inner bark for food, medicine, ceremony and practical daily life uses. Distinctively peeled Colorado ponderosa pines are rare and impermanent reminders of the Ute way of life.
This event will take place via Zoom Meeting. No registration required.

Amnesty Month STARTS
Amnesty Month STARTS
N/A
April 4, 2021
In celebration of National Library Week, Vail Public Library will again offer Amnesty Month from April 4, 2021 through April 30, 2021.This is an effort to recover overdue library materials by offering a “fine free” month. We encourage the return of needed library materials and to 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.
