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.

This month's Book Talk features the book, The Sisters of Auschwitz: The True Story of Two Jewish Sisters' Resistance in the Heart of Nazi Territory by Roxane van Iperen.

During the Second World War two Jewish sisters -- Janny and Lien Brilleslijper -- run one of the largest hideaways in The Netherlands: The High Nest, a villa in The Gooi area. While the last remaining Jews are being hunted in The Netherlands, the lives of dozens of hideaways kept going for better or for worse, right under the noses of their National Socialist neighbours. Eventually, the nest is exposed and the Brilleslijper family put on one of the last transports to Auschwitz, along with the (Anne) Frank family. Roxane's novelistic eye combined with her rigorous research result in a hugely compelling portrayal of courage, treason and human resilience.

La Conversación Literaria de este mes presenta el libro “The Sisters of Auschwitz: The True Story of Two Jewish Sisters' Resistance in the Heart of Nazi Territory” (Las hermanas de Auschwitz: La historia real de dos hermanas judías que resistieron en el corazón del territorio nazi), escrito por Roxane Van Iperen.

Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, dos hermanas judías —Janny y Lien Brilleslijper— operan uno de los más grandes escondites en Los Países Bajos: The High Nest, una villa en el área Gooi. Mientras los últimos judíos están siendo perseguidos en los Países Bajos, las vidas de docenas de personas refugiadas continúan (para bien o para mal) justo bajo las narices de sus vecinos nacional-socialistas. Con el tiempo, el escondite es descubierto y la familia Brilleslijper es enviada en uno de los últimos traslados hacia Auschwitz, junto con la familia de Ana Frank. El ojo novelista de Roxane, combinado con su riguroso trabajo de investigación, tiene como resultado una increíblemente convincente representación del valor, la traición y la resiliencia humanas.

As long as you're getting your daily steps in, why not have fun with it? We will cover using a smartphone to apply your actual movement to virtual journeys. Whether you go on fantasy quests, jog Route 66 or even hike alongside the Great Wall of China, you will never look at your walks the same way!

¿Por qué no divertirte mientras vas llevando la cuenta de tus pasos diarios? Exploraremos la manera en que puedes utilizar tu teléfono inteligente para sincronizar tus movimientos con recorridos virtuales. Ya sea que desees realizar viajes fantásticos, correr a lo largo de la Ruta 66, o incluso caminar a lo largo de la Gran Muralla China, ¡nunca volverás a ver tus caminatas de la misma manera! El programa será facilitado en inglés.

Schubert MiniFest

Lone Traveler
"A stranger I arrive. A stronger I depart."

Join seven acclaimed musicians from the Roaring Fork Valley and across the nation for a two-day festival exploring the exquisite song cycles and chamber music of Franz Schubert. Through music and storytelling, four distinctive programs illuminate a world of beauty, longing, and imagination, revealing why Schubert's deeply human artistry continues to captivate audiences nearly two centuries later.
