Early in October, author/illustrator Suzanne Bloom arrived in Glenwood from her home in upstate New York, to share her books, in English and Spanish, with children up and down the valley as part of Raising a Reader. Suzanne and I met ten years ago at a Highlights workshop and it was so fun to see her again! We took a drive through the mountains for barbecue in Redstone, and rode the gondola up to the Adventure Park high above Glenwood Springs. Suzanne was also part of the Arts and Literacy fest at the Glenwood Library on October 12th.
Then on Saturday, October 19th, the Garfield County Libraries held a protest against banning books in Centennial Park downtown at 11:00, and then at 12:00--our town's new book store opened down the street in the King Mall! Welcome, welcome Alpenglow Books and Gifts! And let's celebrate the love of books and reading among all ages!
