Afternoon Book Discussion: Powell
2025-03-11 14:00 - 15:00
The Afternoon Book Discussion group will be meeting at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, March 11th in the Homesteader Hall Meeting Room at the Park County Fairgrounds to discuss ‘The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat’ by Oliver Sacks.
More about this nonfiction book:Oliver Sacks recounts the stories of patients lost in the bizarre, apparently inescapable world of neurological disorders. These are case studies of people who have lost their memories and with them the greater part of their pasts; who are no longer able to recognize people or common objects; whose limbs have become alien; who are afflicted and yet are gifted with uncanny artistic or mathematical talents. In Dr. Sacks’ splendid and sympathetic telling, each tale is a unique and deeply human study of life struggling against incredible adversity.
To join the Afternoon Book Discussion Group, please ask for a copy at the circulation desk after February 11th or check it out on Libby!

Powell’s Pop Up Play
2025-03-12 10:00 - 12:00
Alright! Who’s ready?! Thanks to Heart Mountain Free Clinic and First Stop Park County Help Center, I’m excited to announce that there is going to be an INDOOR OPEN PLAY SPACE available on a regular basis right here in Powell.
We’re having our first ‘Pop-Up Play’ event at the Trinity Bible Church gym this Wednesday March 12, from 10am- 12pm.
This event is aimed at providing a free, open ended play area for caretakers to bring their kiddos ages 0-5 to let them interact and play with each other.
This is not childcare.
A caretaker must sign a liability waiver and be present for the entire time that their little is playing.
Let’s make this a fun, open, supportive environment for the kiddos and adults alike so that we can keep having these play days until the weather clears up… and maybe even after!

The sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the nine boys, in the depths of the Great Depression, showed the world what beating the odds really meant. They defeated elite rivals from California and eastern schools to earn the right to compete against the German crew rowing for Adolf Hitler in the Olympic Games in Berlin. The crew was assembled by an enigmatic coach and mentored by a visionary, eccentric British boat builder, but it was their trust in each other that made them a victorious team

More about this fiction book:
At the edge of the Russian wilderness, Vasilisa spends the winter nights huddled near the fire with her siblings, listening to her nurse’s fairy tales. She loves the chilling story of Frost, the winter demon, who claims unwary souls. Wise Russians fear him and honor the spirits of house, yard, and forest that protect their homes from evil. After Vasilisa’s mother dies, her father goes to Moscow and brings home a new wife. Fiercely devout, city-bred, Vasilisa’s stepmother forbids her family from honoring household spirits. The family acquiesces, but Vasilisa senses that more hinges upon their rituals than anyone knows.
