Join us for Read-A-Long Story Time with Lee!

Mondays, June 14-August 16 at 10:30 a.m. on the Library’s Donaldson Robb Family Lawn on 4th Street. (Note: No Story Time will be held on Monday, July 5th. The library is CLOSED). 

Registration opens the Wednesday prior to the upcoming story time and space is limited.

A copy of the book will be provided for each group to follow along as it is read, and so illustrations can be seen close up, and books will be collected at the conclusion of story time.

SIGNUP IS PER FAMILY (OR GROUP)–i.e., you only need to register for one attendee per family, even if there are multiple children attending that will be sharing a book. Please indicate in the comments how many children are in your group so we can plan for each child to receive a craft or activity kit when one is being provided.

Attendees will be responsible for anything they might need to enjoy this outdoor gathering (blanket to sit on, refreshments, sunscreen, etc.). The Community Library will have additional staff/volunteers on hand to help with outdoor story time, however adult attendees will ultimately be responsible for the safety and welfare of the children they bring.

We are so excited to see you and share this fun summer activity with you!

ZOOM: Ohio Connection to “Hemingway in Idaho”

by

REGISTER HERE

Join us for a virtual screening and panel discussion in partnership with WOUB Public Media of Ohio and Idaho Public Television. 

The event will be held virtually over Zoom on June 29 at 7:00 p.m. Eastern (5:00 p.m. Mountain). 

Those in attendance will see an excerpt from the recent PBS “Hemingway” documentary series, as well as an episode of IPTV’s Idaho Experience, “Hemingway’s Idaho,” which focuses on the extraordinary home Hemingway lived in during his time in Idaho. The Ketchum home and its associated 13.9 acres of land alongside the Big Wood River is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its association with the great writer and because it is an exquisite example of mid-century architecture. Hemingway worked on For Whom the Bell Tolls, Islands in the Stream and a memoir, A Moveable Feast, while in Idaho. However, the memoir was never finished. Hemingway committed suicide on July 2, 1961, at the Idaho home.

The event’s panel will feature Van Gordon Sauter, former president of CBS News and Fox News; Lynn Novick, who directed and produced the “Hemingway” documentary series with Ken Burns that premiered on PBS in April; Jenny Emery Davidson of the Community Library in Ketchum, which currently owns and manages the home; and Gary Holcomb, an African American Studies professor at Ohio University, who published a critical collection called “Teaching Hemingway and Race.” The group will discuss the life of Hemingway, the history of the Ketchum home and take questions from those in attendance.

Sauter, a Ohio University Alumnus, lived in Idaho and became involved in the effort to preserve Hemingway’s legacy and will discuss his time as the head of a committee that was trying to find or become the manager/protector of the Hemingway House in Ketchum. Sauter is also the other of The Sun Valley Story, a history of the area and resort. 

The event is free and open to the public. Registration is required. You can sign up for the event here: https://bit.ly/HemingwayWOUB
