Book Discussion & Film Screening: Neither Wolf
Nor Dog It's a special Book Club event, an opportunity to read and discuss an award winning book that digs deep into the heart of the Native American experience, to enjoy dinner (provided), and then view a screening of the film immediately after. Neither Wolf Nor Dog: On Forgotten Roads with an Indian Elder by Kent Nerburn is the true story of a white author who becomes immersed in the heart of contemporary Native American life by a 95 year old Lakota elder and his side kick in the sparse lands of the Dakotas. First published in 1994 and the winner of the Minnesota Book Award in 1996, no other novel is seen to so successfully bridge the gap between white America and the Native American world. The movie adaptation, released in 2016, stars Dave Bald Eagle, Christopher Sweeney, and Richard Ray Whitman. Anyone is welcome to participate; simply pick up a copy of the book at the front desk or download it from our OverDrive collection, read the book, and then join us on Wednesday, May 8th at 5 pm for a special discussion with dinner at 5 pm in the Board Room. At 6:30 pm, participants will then view the movie in the Lovatt Room. This event is offered in collaboration with Sublette BOCES. Anyone who wishes to just see the film without participating in the book discussion is welcome to the library's Lovatt Room at 6:30 pm to view the film. |

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. |
