Telling our Life Stories: A writing workshop with Kate
Meadows In this workshop, author Kate Meadows explores the power of story and how we can use words to create, communicate and connect. She will guide participants in creating a biographical life story for future generations to cherish, focusing on why our stories matter and how we can bring an idea to life, tell a story effectively and why a community is crucial to the writing process. There will be an optional 30-minute write-in/time for individual questions from 7 pm until 7:30 pm. Kate Neely Meadows grew up in Pinedale and earned her MFA in Professional Writing from Western Connecticut State University, with concentrations in creative nonfiction and journalism. Her work has appeared in publications such as Writer's Digest and Chicken Soup for the Soul, among other publications. Her first book: Tough Love: A Wyoming Childhood was published by Wyoming's Pronghorn Press in 2012. In 2011, she compiled a book of stories and memories to commemorate her family's 50 years in business in Pinedale. Bucky's: Stories and Recollections from 50 Years in Business celebrates the gritty history of a small-town business with deep roots, from the perspective of beloved customers, friends and family members. She has also worked as a journalist for both the Pinedale Roundup and the Sublette Examiner. She currently lives with her husband and two boys in Rapid City, SD. |

Seeking a registered therapy dog and handler We're looking for a few good... dogs! We are hoping to begin a new literacy program at the library that utilizes dogs to help kids enjoy reading. Reading therapy dogs can help kids read better because for children it can be easier to practice reading aloud with a dog rather than in front of classmates or parents, gaining confidence without fear or embarrassment of making mistakes. We are looking for a registered therapy animal to visit the library occasionally and sit or nap while kids read to it. Would you like your dog to be a reading therapy dog at the Pinedale Library? Teton County Pet Partners, the local chapter of the national organization Pet Partners, can help you and your dog become a registered therapy team this spring. Begin the process by emailing info@tcpetpartners.org or by calling Kelly Chadwick at (307) 690-8532. |
