Ridgway Library District

September 12, 2024

Dear Ridgway Library Patrons,

The Ridgway Library had a busy summer with a variety of programs for all ages. Many people stopped in and picked up seeds in the seed library, others learned about Mahjong during the month of July. We had wonderful presenters during our children’s summer reading programs and fortunate to work with the Voyager Youth Program as so many children were able to attend the summer reading events.

Many children and teens participated in summer reading challenges and collected various prizes.

A BIG Thank You to Café Ridgway a La Mode, Snowbirds Craft Shaved Ice and Colorado Boy for providing gift cards to their establishments for our avid readers.

As summer turns to fall, we look forward to a few upcoming events at the library and beyond.

Saturday, September 14th Mountain Magic Art Show reception from 4:00-7:00 p.m. at the library.

 Saturday, September 28th Seed Saving Class with Yvette Henson, CSU Extension County Director, from 10:00-11:30 in the library meeting rooms. Please contact the library to sign-up. Space is limited.

Thursday October 10th Literary Living Room featuring Librarian Jamie LaRue sponsored by the Ridgway Public Library at the Sherbino Theater. Doors open at 7:00. There will be 10 copies of his book On censorship: A public librarian examines cancel culture in the US as giveaways to attendees.

Saturday, November 9th Community Art Show reception from 4:00-7:00 p.m. at the library. To participate in the art show stop by the library to sign up prior to October 1, 2024.

We look forward to helping support children as they start their school week. Other children and teen activities will continue as usual.
