"Don't Say We Didn't Warn You" with Writer-In-Residence Ariel Delgado Dixon @ The Community Library
6:00 pm

Hemingway Writer-In-Residence Ariel Delgado Dixon joins us to discuss her debut novel, “Don’t Say We Didn’t Warn You.” Dixon will be joined by Mary Pauline Lowry, a 2020 resident with The Community Library and the Boise-based author of “The Roxy Letters.” Two sisters unite to survive a traumatic upbringing—from absentee parents to a wilderness camp for troubled teens—in this “relentless and spooky” (Joy Williams) debut from an essential new voice. ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022—Good Housekeeping, Autostraddle, The Millions “When the Juvenile Transportation Services come for you in the night in a preordained kidnapping, complete with an unmarked van and husky guardsmen you can’t outmatch, you have been sold for a promise.” A young woman thinks she has escaped her past only to discover that she’s been hovering on its edges all along: She and her younger sister bide their time in a dilapidated warehouse in a desolate town north of New York City; their parents settled there with dreams of starting an art commune.

Recognizing Redds @ Draper Preserve
10:00 am
Tickets
Learn how to identify redds with our River Program Director, Ryan Santo! Redds are the nests that trout create during spawning to store their eggs. The spawning season is critical to the survival of fish populations, and understanding how to identify redds, and how to avoid them is something everyone who loves this river should know. The day will start out at the Draper Preserve Pavilion at Lions Park with a brief presentation. The rest of the day will be spent walking in the river as a group, identifying and counting redds. Most of the scouting will take place in the river, so we ask that participants are comfortable walking in moving water on unstable rocky river bottom. This is a great opportunity to learn about the Big Wood River ecosystem, become a better steward of the river, and help us collect data about local rainbow trout populations.
