Hi, I'm Eric Eicher, employee, owner and president of Alpine Bank Durango. At Alpine Bank we believe in the power of community and connecting you with the resources you need to work, live, and play in our community. I hope you enjoy this edition of Community Insights.
Ignacio Community Library has something for everyone. From reliable wifi and workspaces to exciting community events, the library has served as a vital community resource for many years with a diverse range of programs available to the public.
We have tons of programs. So we have weekly sewing workshops. We have art studio, open art studio every Tuesday. We have a knitting group that's really active. We have Repair Cafe once a month where you can come and have your things repaired instead of putting them in the landfill. We have regular story times for preschoolers and infants, and we have regular book clubs.
In addition to ongoing programs, the Ignacio Community Library hosts many special events. Upcoming highlights include, a class on perfecting green chili sauce and a virtual reality experience for adults where participants can explore Italy through VR headsets.
We have for adults coming up, our virtual travel program that we're really excited about. We're going to be traveling to Italy. We're going to learn about the history of pasta, make some food, and eat it, and also travel to Italy in our Quest Pro headsets.
The Ignacio Community Library is dedicated to bringing people and ideas together for learning and personal growth. To assist community members with legal advice, the library will be bringing back its free legal clinics starting on August 20th.
We have a free legal clinic that's coming back, starting in August, where people can sign up for a 20 minute consultation with a lawyer for free, and those can be really helpful for people who don't have the income, particularly to afford their own legal counsel.
The Ignacio Community Library is dedicated to evolving its offerings based on community feedback.
Well, we're always continuing to work to reach more people and have our programs meet the needs of more people. And so having the surveys after each program really helps and just listening when people tell us what they want, and what they appreciate, and what they would rather have really helps as well.
Be sure to check the Ignacio Community Library website for a full list of programs offered, as well as a calendar of upcoming events. Make sure to register in advance.
