Community Calendar

All kids can pick up a free snack pack in the library. This program is sponsored by local churches, the Town of Bayfield, Pine River Shares, and the Friends of the Library. It is hosted by Bayfield students!

This program is produced by the Foreign Policy Association, whose mission is to foster public awareness, understanding, and informed discussion of U.S. foreign policy and global issues

Our local discussion series is co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters of La Plata County, the Durango Branch of the American Association of University Women, and the Durango Public Library. From the second week of February through the second week of May, participants meet every other Tuesday from 11:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. at the Durango Public Library, 1900 E. Third Avenue.

Each session begins with a professionally produced video and brief lecture from the Foreign Policy Association, followed by a lively 90-minute discussion led by volunteer facilitators from our community. An accompanying Great Decisions briefing book is available for purchase from the Foreign Policy Association, and a reference copy may be consulted at the Durango Public Library Reference Desk.

All discussions are free and open to the public. More details and full descriptions of each topic at www.gddurango.org
