As summer winds down, enjoy a series of free concerts on the Village Green in Palmer Lake (right next to the library). These concerts, from 6 to 7 p.m., are free and family friendly. Please bring a lawn chair or blanket for your comfort. In the event of rain, concerts will be cancelled.
On Friday Aug. 23, the concert will feature the Academy Jazz Ensemble featuring jazz and big band music.
On Friday Aug. 30, the concert will feature the Tender Foot Bluegrass Band. We hope to see you there!
Monument Library offers two book clubs that are open to all. The Monumental Bookworms is an evening book club sponsored by the Tri-Lakes Friends of the Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD). The Bookworms will meet from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Aug. 13. This month’s title is Horse by Geraldine Brooks. The Monumental Readers is also sponsored by the Tri-Lakes Friends of PPLD. They will meet from 10:30 to 12:30 on Aug. 16. This month’s selection is One Summer: America 1927 by Bill Bryson. No registration is required to attend the book clubs and all are welcome.
Enjoy the rest of your summer.
Please note that all library facilities will be closed on Monday Sept. 2 for Labor Day.
