Celebration of Willa Cather's "My Antonia"Celebration of Willa Cather's "My Antonia" N/A
Join us! for a month-long celebration of Willa Cather's 1918 novel, My Ántonia. We are starting a new tradition at Vail Public Library (VPL) by offering a month of Willa Cather. Cather’s seminal My Ántonia was published Sept. 21, 1918 and cemented her as a force to be reckoned with in American literature. Willa Sibert Cather (December 7, 1873– April 24, 1947) was an American writer who achieved recognition for her novels of frontier life on the Great Plains, including O Pioneers!, The Song of the Lark, and My Ántonia. In 1923 she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for One of Ours (1922), a novel set during World War I. Cather graduated from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. She lived and worked in Pittsburgh for ten years, supporting herself as a magazine editor and high school English teacher. At the age of 33 she moved to New York City, her primary home for the rest of her life, though she also traveled widely and spent considerable time at her summer residence on Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick. |

We have invited Marie Torry of Patterns of Joy Life Skills Enrichment ~ Sewing Outreach to come teach us to sew! Our sewing project is to sew and fill Welcome Totes for children who are attending Round up River Ranch Family Camp. Each child will sew one tote to give and one to keep for themselves. We will then fill the totes with a journal, fun stuff & toiletries to make the child’s visit more enjoyable. Patterns of Joy has the mission of Kids Serving Kids, we love the idea behind it! This is a RSVP required program, limited space project. 970-479-2179 or email 
If you love libraries and aren’t part of your local library’s Friends group, you may want to consider joining. Friends of Library groups can be found in nearly every community and on many campuses across the country. These groups, made up of volunteers, raise money and increase public awareness about their library. Money raised by these groups support such important library services as summer reading programs for children, author events, special collections, and new technologies. Some Friends work with their local libraries to get involved in politics, lobbying for advocacy efforts such as increasing the library’s budget, building new facilities, or even legislation that affects libraries.
