Community Calendar

Sopris Lodge and HomeCare & Hospice of the Valley invite you to a six-part grief support series for those navigating the loss of a loved one. Held on the third Tuesday of each month in the Community Room at the Carbondale Branch Library, this series will feature a rotating lineup of compassionate speakers offering guidance, support and connection.

September's inaugural session will be led by Sean Jeung, a board-certified chaplain and certified grief counselor with over 20 years of experience at Hospice of the Valley and Valley View Hospital. Sean is a well-known expert and deeply respected in the Roaring Fork Valley.

Free and open to the public. RSVP at 970-678-0057 or soprislodge.com/events.

"That Which Remains" by Agustina Mistretta is a poetic interpretation of the language of the mountains, capturing the transitional periods and the apparent changes in the landscape for the perspective of combining personal history, family and found archival material, and a personal obsession with her surrounding topography. Mountains have been a steady guiding force in her life path.

"Empyreal Odyssey" by mixed media artist Benjamin Eric explores the intersection of mythology and cosmology, drawing inspiration from ancient cultural stories and symbols regarding celestial phenomena and the human desire to connect to the divine. Recognizable imagery created through a combination of recycled wood, artifacts and various mediums are meant to be a new narrative as imagined by the artist.

Both shows are on display through September 25. The gallery is open weekdays 10am-5pm.

We are excited to invite families to our early literacy story times. Designed for all ages, we will enjoy stories, songs, and action rhymes in the Community Room. Sitting still is not a requirement for storytime. Young children can reap the benefits of storytelling and songs even while wandering. Give it a try. We would love to see you!

Con gran emoción deseamos invitar a todas las familias a nuestra hora de cuentos para respaldar la alfabetización temprana, creada para peques de todas las edades y presentada en nuestra Sala Comunitaria. Disfrutaremos de historias, canciones y juegos que combinan las rimas con el movimiento. La capacidad de permanecer inmóviles no es una expectativa para la hora de los cuentos, puesto que los beneficios de la narrativa y la música siguen siendo de gran beneficio incluso para peques que prefieren explorar mientras escuchan. Ven a conocer el programa. ¡Nos encantaría verte! El programa será facilitado en inglés.
