Community Calendar

This author signing and showcase event is celebrating the participants of the Creative Writing Summer Club and their published works! We will hold a reception for family and friends in the Community Room where participants will sign books, share about their stories, and enjoy snacks as we celebrate the authors’ achievements.

¡Este evento de exposición con autógrafos tiene la intención de celebrar a todas las personas participantes en el Club Veraniego de Escritura Creativa y sus trabajos publicados! Ofreceremos una recepción para sus familiares y amistades en la Sala Comunitaria, donde las personas participantes compartirán sus historias, autografiarán libros y disfrutarán de refrigerios mientras celebramos sus logros.

Knitters and crocheters (and any other yarn workers) come together to work on and discuss projects, yarn, and techniques. Open to all; bring your own supplies and works-in-progress.

Las personas que disfrutan del tejido, ya sea con ganchos o agujas (y cualquier tipo de trabajo con estambre), se reúnen para trabajar en diversos proyectos y dialogar al respecto, además de conversar sobre las técnicas empleadas y los tipos de estambre utilizados. Es una actividad abierta para todas las personas. Trae tus propios materiales y los proyectos en los que estés trabajando.

Let's get ready to go back to school at the Basalt Regional Library! Students of all ages (elementary school students, middle school students, high school students, and college students) will be able to pick up free school supplies and decorate their own pencil pouches or canvas totes for school use. We are also partnering with local organizations all throughout the Roaring Fork Valley that support students year-round. Each organization will have their own booth with information regarding in-school and afterschool programs and resources available during the school year.

¡Preparémonos para el regreso a clases en la Biblioteca Regional de Basalt! Estudiantes de todas las edades (primaria, escuelas media y media superior, y universidad) podrán elegir útiles escolares nuevos y decorar sus propios estuches de lápices o bolsas de lona para utilizar durante el nuevo año escolar. Colaboraremos con organizaciones locales a lo largo del valle Roaring Fork dedicadas a brindar apoyo al cuerpo estudiantil durante todo el año. Cada organización tendrá su propia caseta con información sobre programas escolares y extra curriculares, y también sobre los recursos disponibles durante el año escolar.

Join us on the first Wednesday of every month for our library book club! We'll look at highlights of our favorite new releases and books in the news, and also have an informal round-table discussion of books you've been reading that you'd like to share.

¡Acompáñanos el primer miércoles de cada mes para nuestro club de lectura en la biblioteca! Echaremos un vistazo a los puntos más destacados en las noticias sobre los nuevos lanzamientos y publicaciones literarias, además de tener una discusión informal a manera de mesa redonda sobre los libros que has estado leyendo y que te gustaría compartir. El programa será facilitado en inglés.
