Datil Library Schedule Announced

Mountain Mail Reports

Datil’s Baldwin Cabin Public Library is both proud and pleased as punch to announce its lineup of summer children’s programs. The summer season opens with a bang July 7 with Cathy Bissey’s Original Origami which will include some easy figures for little hands as well as harder ones for the older kids. Suzan MacKenzie will be doing a double header this year with Lots of Leatherwork on July 14 and Animal Art – Drawing on July 21. We’re especially pleased to find someone to conduct a drawing program. On July 28 Linda Ravert will wrap up the season with her popular More Fun With Beads. All the programs will be tailored for all ages and will provide the children with something to take home to keep or use as a birthday present.
The programs, all on Wednesdays, will start at 1:00 p.m. with reading by Mother Goose and end at 2:30 pm after a snack. All children (and their parents) are welcome. BCPL is on Forest Road 100 off Highway 60 three miles west of downtown Datil. The library is open every Wednesday and Saturday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
In other library news, on Thursday evening, August 12, BCPL will sponsor a talk and book signing by well-known New Mexico mystery author Steven Havill whose hero is the unlikely Bill Gastner, once Sheriff of Posadas County and now New Mexico Livestock Inspector.
On Friday, August 20 at 8 a.m. Earl Harvey, author of ‘What Happened to Charlie,’ will lead a bird walk at the Datil Well Campground. Mr. Harvey, who used to live in Datil when he was a child, has led many a Bird Walk at the Rio Grande Nature Center in Albuquerque.
Mark your calendars and watch this paper for more information about these events.
