Writing about Real People: A Writing Workshop
with Katherine Standefer
Tuesday, June 28th
5 - 6:30 pm
The Pinedale Library Lovatt Room
How can we ethically write about other people—and what does
it mean to do it well? In this 1.5-hour workshop, author Katherine
Standefer draws on her experiences writing and publishing her acclaimed
memoir Lightning Flowers to help writers explore the craft
of building nuanced characters, reckon with owning their stories’
difficult truths, and consider the legal or logistical implications
of their storytelling.
Katherine Standefer is the author of Lightning Flowers: My
Journey to Uncover the Cost of Saving a Life, which was a Finalist
for the 2021 Kirkus Prize in Nonfiction and the Arizona/New Mexico
Book Award in Memoir, selected as a New York Times Book Review
Editor’s Choice/Staff Pick, and shortlisted for the J. Anthony
Lukas Work-in-Progress Prize from Columbia Graduate School of Journalism.
Lightning Flowers was featured on NPR’s Fresh Air,
on the goop podcast, in The Oprah Magazine, and in People
Magazine. Standefer’s previous writing appeared in The
Best American Essays 2016. She earned her MFA at the University
of Arizona and was a 2018 Logan Nonfiction Fellow at the Carey Institute
for Global Good. Standefer lives on a piñon- and juniper-studded
mesa in New Mexico with her chickens.

Book Club: My Night is Booked
Wednesday, June 29th
5 pm
The Pinedale Library Western Americana Room
Our June selection is Westering Women by Sandra Dallas
About the book:
"If you are an adventuresome young woman of high moral
character and fine health, are you willing to travel to California
in search of a good husband?"
It's February, 1852, and all around Chicago, Maggie sees postings
soliciting "eligible women" to travel to the gold mines
of Goosetown. A young seamstress with a small daughter, she has
nothing to lose. She joins forty-three other women and two pious
reverends on the dangerous 2,000-mile journey west.
None are prepared for the hardships they face on the trek or for
the strengths they didn't know they possessed. Maggie discovers
she’s not the only one looking to leave dark secrets behind.
And when her past catches up with her, it becomes clear a band of
sisters will do whatever it takes to protect one of their own.

A Matter of Fact: A new nonfiction book club
First meeting on Wednesday, July 13th
5 pm
The Pinedale Library Western Americana Room
We've launched a new book club just for nonfiction lovers! A Matter
of Fact book club will meet on the second Wednesdays of the month
at 5 pm in the Western Americana Room. Our meeting facilitator for
this monthly book club will be Becky Poe.
Our July selection is ShadowMan: An Elusive Psycho Killer and
the Birth of FBI Profiling by Wyoming born and bred award winning
author crime writer Ron Franscell.
About the book:
On June 25, 1973, a seven-year-old girl went missing from the
Montana campground where her family was vacationing. Somebody had
slit open the back of their tent and snatched her from under their
noses. None of them saw or heard anything. Susie Jaeger had vanished
into thin air, plucked by a shadow.
The largest manhunt in Montana’s history ensued, led by the
FBI. As days stretched into weeks, and weeks into months, Special
Agent Pete Dunbar attended a workshop at FBI Headquarters in Quantico,
Virgina, led by two agents who had hatched a radical new idea: What
if criminals left a psychological trail that would lead us to them?
Patrick Mullany, a trained psychologist, and Howard Teten, a veteran
criminologist, had created the Behavioral Science Unit to explore
this new "voodoo" they called “criminal profiling.”

Print to the Pinedale Library
With many of us all relying on mobile devices and not having printers
at home these days, it can be a challenge when we need to print
something important. The Pinedale Library offers a print service
where you can simply email what you'd like to print right to the
library and then pick it up for a nominal charge. This service is
ideal when you need to print:
• Amazon/online shopping return shipping labels
• Sports or activity sign up forms
• Travel/accommodation reservations
• Real estate or bill of sale documents
• Homeschooling resources
Simply email the document, web page, or whatever you'd like have
printed to a designated email address:
printmescl@gmail.com
In the email subject line, indicate "please print" or
"print job." We will notify you when your printed documents
are ready for pickup. The fee is 10 cents per B&W page or $1
per color page, plus a $1 processing fee. For larger printing jobs,
call us at (307) 367-4114 to discuss options and pricing.
Note that library staff will briefly view the document in the preparation
of your print outs, so this service may not be the best option for
printing your confidential or sensitive documents.
Our photocopier remains available for your copying needs at a
nominal charge.
Email your document to the
Pinedale Library for printing
Quarantined? We can deliver.
Contact-free outreach from Pinedale & Big Piney Libraries
