Library announces ‘Eager’ as 2025 community read
Each year, Bud Werner Library presents One Book Steamboat, a community read in Steamboat Springs.
This winter, the Yampa Valley community is invited to read and discuss the award-winning nonfiction book “Eager: The Surprising, Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter,” by award-winning journalist Ben Goldfarb.
The book is the winner of the 2019 PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award.
In addition, the library is offering a series of events to enrich reading experiences and a Yampa Valley-wide conversation about resilience in our local environment — culminating with a live talk by Goldfarb on March 18 in Library Hall.
The library has ample copies of “Eager” circulating locally in the collection (including digital, audio and print copies). Books are available so everyone is invited to check out a copy, read it and participate in the community conversations.
