This class will serve as an introduction to colored pencils and watercolor colored pencils using new pastel mat pastel paper. We will use watercolor colored pencil to apply an underpainting of color, then use a water pen brush to go over underpainting to dissolve the wax in the watercolor pencil layer. The drawing is allowed to dry overnight. The drawing is finished with layers of colored pencil applied over the underpainting.

In the second half of the class we will use watercolor colored pencils and watercolor graphite pencils to make prints with a small press.

This class will run from May – June. Advanced registration is required and there is a limited number of slots for the class, so please call the library - or visit the front desk in person - to sign up. The fee for the class is $20 and click here to see the supply list: Colored Pencil Class Supply List

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 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.

The history of mountaineering began on Denali with the legendary story of four gold miners who claimed to have summited after climbing more than 8,000 feet of steep snow and ice, then descended - in a single and incredibly dangerous day in 1910 - all the while lugging a 25-pound, 14-foot flagpole to mark their success.

Was the expedition a success or a hoax? Detailed in his newest book "Chasing Denali", Denali expert Jon Waterman chases the truth during his one final climb of the mountain and a relates his findings in his attempt to solve one of the most colorful mountaineering mysteries ever told.

The ICL is pleased to host Mr. Waterman, who will give an in-depth presentation of images, video, and storytelling reflecting upon his adventures from 40 years of mountaineering on Denali, North America’s highest mountain.

The talk will begin at 11 am on Saturday, June 1st in the ICL's Community Room. No advanced registration is required, and snacks and refreshments will be provided!
