Live and Learn
Are you looking for a casual book club? Or are you interested in learning a new cooking technique? How about spending an evening listening to performance poetry? Or participating in a writing workshop given by an award winning WA state author? Well, you can now do all that and more here at your library. We are pleased to announce the beginning of a new adult programming series we are calling "Live and Learn @ your Library." Live and Learn programming is designed to fulfill our mission to be a learning center for the community and more specifically to carry out our long range goals to facilitate life-long learning and to provide a public forum supporting the exchange of ideas. For specific programs we used results drawn from our programming survey conducted in October. Our vision is to provide meaningful, provacative, and recreational programming that responds to community needs and interests. The offerings will primarily showcase the expertise and experiences of our own community members. The long-term logistical plan is for each Live and Learn series to explore a theme that we will explore in different ways. Each themed series will then run in approximately three month blocks three times per the year. Events such as book discussion groups, workshops lectures, and films will be a part of each series. To kick this all off we have selected "Express Yourself" as our first theme. In celebration of self expression we will highlight the work of authors, poets, artists and activists who have communicated their thoughts through self-expression, as well as provide workshops that allow you to explore paths to own personal self-expression. Express Yourself schedule of events:
Please check the library for more information and a calendar of Live and Learn events (as well as for information about youth and other ongoing programming). We know you have ideas to share, and we can’t wait to hear what you have to say! P.S. I will be in Mexico for the next three weeks. Shannan will fill in for me for this column while I’m away. ¡Adios!
