| | | Exhibition: Why Cats Have Skinny Pupils
Jack Collom and the writings of Boulder County school children January 31 - February 11, 2018
Main Library, Canyon Gallery
Jack Collom (1931-2017) began teaching in poets-in-the-schools programs in the mid-1970s nationwide (and abroad), a practice he continued for the rest of his life. He taught thousands of school children of all grades in Boulder County, and wrote the book Moving Windows about teaching poetry to children. His boyish (even in old age) joie d’écrire was infectious, and generations of students have been exposed to, “infected with,” poetry as a direct result of Jack Collom. This exhibition is a sampling of that poetry.

| | | BeeChicas: Bee Biology 101 Weather and Bees at the Library
The unseasonably warm weather this winter had an unexpected impact on our library beehives (seen at the Main Library from inside the ramp near Seeds Library Cafe or from the Boulder Creek Path or inside the Japanese Garden). A varroa mite infestation weakened the Bee Literate hive to the point where the colony could not maintain the 90F+ degree temperatures needed to survive colder winter days. The warmer temperatures fostered greater bee activity, and mites spread to the Bee Literate hive. We will repopulate the Bee Literate hive by splitting the other library hive, Booked Bee Bed & Breakfast. Visit the city's Climate Action page to learn more about how to reduce our environmental impact.

Recommended Read "This award-winning book by a Nobel Laureate in Economics presents an engaging and insightful look into how we think. He lays out a system with which we can better understand our own biases and when to trust our intuitions. This book is thought-provoking and approachable." --Robin, Materials Handling Division
