Library Christmas Tree Is Lit
I got to work today and found that the library elves had put up the tree, decorated it and hung our stockings!

Coming Attractions: Youth Poetry Slam And Remarkable Women Of Taos
We work way in advance planning our events at the library. Even though it's not yet winter, our Library Director, George Jaramillo, and several staffmembers (Connie, Judith, Lisa and myself) have begun work on our 2012 Summer Lecture Series. This year's theme will be "Remarkable Women of Taos." In addition to the famous names, we also hope to include some of the lesser-known lights that have made and continue to make our community so uniquely wonderful. Believe it or not, it takes months to find our speakers, book them, get their bios and photos and prepare the publicity.
