Books cover all genres from new fiction to classics to nonfiction, young adult, graphic novels, and everything in between. Register at www.comlib.org to join the club. December's pick is "Living Untethered" by Michael A. Singer. The discussion will be led by communications manager Kyla Merwin. A New York Times bestseller, this transformative and highly anticipated guide will be your compass on an exciting new journey toward self-realization and unconditional happiness. The luminary author of "The Untethered Soul" takes us even deeper into the quest for inner peace and an energetic flow. "Living Untethered" offers powerful, practical guidance to understand and transform ourselves, our relationships, and our lives. Please come in or talk to our librarians about reserving a copy to read. The group will meet in the library's Programs Studio, downstairs from the Children's Library.

Mind Over Mountains

Sun Valley Opera House

Sharing stigma about mental health in ski town with conversation and community. Join Sun Valley Resort for a FREE screening of UPS & DOWNS, a ski film focused on mental health in the mountains. Meet filmmaker and skier Drew Peterson, who will sit down with ski journalist Paddy O'Connell. Behind closed doors, professional skier Drew Petersen has been living a much different reality than ski films, magazine covers, and Instagram likes have shown. Following a near-death accident in the mountains, Petersen went into a dark tailspin of mental health struggles. In the following years, he has privately navigated an arduous journey of PTSD, bipolar disorder, brain injury rehabilitation, and suicidal thoughts. Told through the lens of ski touring, “Ups and Downs” is an introspective look at the mountains and valleys along his path, and how his mental health journey is ultimately lifelong—both from well before Petersen’s accident and for the rest of his life moving forward. His story is truly one of finding the light, healing both in the mountains and in therapy, and how giving voice to his struggles ultimately saved him. Please contact us at the Sun Valley Recreation Center 208.622.2135 with any questions you may have about ...
