August 2024 Newsletter

A graphic with mountains, trees, orange text "August 2024," and contact information for the Dolores Public Library.

A big thank you to everyone who took part in, volunteered for, or contributed to our 2024 Summer Reading program. It was quite an adventure, and we hope you had as much fun as we did. If you joined the Summer Reading Program but haven't collected your prize yet, please visit the library soon.

This August, we have exciting new programs lined up, from a meet-&-greet with candidates vying to represent our community to various teen clubs. Additionally, we are teaming up with the San Juan Mountains Association for an Author Event featuring Debra Van Winegarden and Thomas Holt Ward discussing their new guidebook, La Plata Mountains: Comprehensive Guide to Peaks and Trails.

There will be an end-of-summer celebration for your kids: come to Smokey Bear's Birthday Party on Friday, August 9th at 11a. There will be games, crafts, adventures, Smokey, and best of all, cake!

We look forward to seeing you at the Dolores Public Library this August and having you join in on our new programs!
