Re-Granting program to allocate funds to arts groups



The Steamboat Springs Arts Council’s 2015 Re-Granting program will grant funds with special focus on arts and culture organizations who cannot apply for the Arts and Culture Coalition Grant money due to lack of 501(c)(3) status, lack of knowledge of the granting process/application timetable or unforeseen need. Grant proposals are due today. Visit steamboatarts.org or call 970-879-9008 for applications or more information.

Historical author Sandra Dallas visits library today



Bud Werner Memorial Library presents an evening with past Literary Sojourn author Sandra Dallas at 6:30 p.m. today in Library Hall. The award-winning, New York Times bestselling author returns to speak about her new book of historical fiction, “The Last Midwife.”

Dallas is the author of 13 adult novels, two young reader novels and 10 nonfiction books, and she recently won the 2015 WILLA Award for her novel, “A Quilt for Christmas,” which was the fourth time she has received this literary award for Women Writing in the West.

Set in 1880, “The Last Midwife” tells the story of the only midwife in a small Colorado mining town, where she has delivered hundreds, maybe thousands, of babies in her lifetime. She is a gifted and important resource for the women of her community, a position earned through wisdom and trust. But everything changes when a baby is found dead and evidence points to the midwife as the killer.

This Library Author Series event is free, and books will be available for sale and author signing after the talk. Visit steamboatlibrary.org/events for more information.
