    ICL Mystery Book Club


    May 13, 2019

    Join us for a lively discussion about the mystery book of the month. The library will provide lunch this month!

    When a young woman linked to a list of missing Fire-Sky tribal members commits suicide, Pueblo Police Sergeant Nicky Matthews is assigned to the case. As the investigation unfolds, she uncovers a threat that strikes at the very heart of what it means to be a Fire-Sky Native: victims chosen and murdered because of their genetic makeup. But these deaths are not just about a life taken. In a vengeful twist, the killer ensures the spirits of those targeted will wander forever, lost to their family, their People, and their ancestors. When those closest to Nicky are put in jeopardy, she must be willing to sacrifice everything―her career, her life, even her soul―to save the people she is sworn to protect.

    The Past and Future of Wolves in Colorado

    The Past and Future of Wolves in Colorado


    May 23, 2019

    The University Press of Colorado recently published The Last Stand of the Pack, Critical Edition, which is a reprint of a 1929 book that describes the trapping, shooting, and killing of the last wolves in Colorado.

    Dr. Andrew Gulliford, professor of history and environmental studies at Fort Lewis College, was a co-editor on the book and will discuss the history of wolves in Colorado, and in particular why they were killed in the 1920s.

    *This talk is meant to be both objective and informative for people wanting to learn more about wolves in Colorado, rather than serve as a debate about the possibility of their re-introduction.
