“When children have a home

library, even as small as 20 books

of their own, they achieve 3 more

years of schooling than children

who don’t have any

books at home.”

NEWSLETTER IGNACIO COMMUNITY LIBRARY

July2020

Reopening! The fireworks are definitely flying for us here at the

library this month, because we are reopening!

Wednesday, July 1 will be our first day to unlock

our doors to the public, and we are so

excited to see our patrons once again, but there

will be some regulations we must follow.

Remaining socially distant, plexie sneeze guards,

masks, and limiting the amount of daily patrons

may all be present when we open our doors, but

we will do our best to make the transition as easy

as possible for everyone.

Please visit our website, ignaciolibrary.org, or

Facebook page to see any updates and to read

through a more detailed plan of our reopening.

Interested in learning

how to use Zoom?

Throughout the month of July the ICL

will be offering in-person, socially

distanced appointments for people

who want to learn how to use Zoom on

their computer or smartphone so that

they can better access meetings and

other events that are taking place in

our post-coronavirus world.

If you would like to learn how to use

Zoom and would like to make an

appointment during the month of July

please call the library at 970-563-9287

and ask for Andrew Hutchinson!

Feel free to also email him at

Monday, July 13 at 11:30 a.m.

Come discuss Sarah’s Key.

Please bring a sack lunch and a chair, we’ll

be meeting at the park.

Next month’s book is Grandma

Gatewood’s Walk The Inspiring Story of the

Woman Who Saved the Appalachian Trail.

Emma Gatewood was the first woman to

hike the entire Appalachian Trail alone, as

well as the first person—man or woman—to

walk it twice and three times and she did it

all after the age of 65. Written

by Ben Montgomery.

This month we will meet at

Shoshone Park behind the

library in the main gazebo.

Attendees are encouraged to

bring their own food for lunch

as well as a chair to sit in and/

or a cushion to sit on.

Since libraries in Colorado are not trading

books and it is difficult to get a set, this

month members are encouraged to read

a mystery novel of their choice and then

come prepared to talk to the rest of the

group about it!

A time for women to let their hair

down, make new friends, laugh,

and share a meal while

discussing a good book!

Summer Reading Hey all you adults! The kids are beating you this summer! So don’t forget you can log the

books you read on the READsquared app too. The more you read the more prizes you

could be eligible to win!

You can still register, call us or visit our website under the Summer Reading tab.

Coming in August...

ICL will be hosting a Zoom meeting with Timothy Wineguard, a professor of history and

political science at Colorado Mesa University, and author of a new novel

The Mosquito: A Human History of Our Deadliest Predator.

There will be a meeting ID for this Zoom meeting published in August's newsletter, as well as

made available on our website for anyone interested. Come join in this meeting as Mr.

Wineguard discusses his book and all sorts of other interesting facts about a small organism

that has had such a large impact on human history!

Mosquito Talk Saturday, August 8 at 11:00 a.m.
