Movie night! Please join us at 5:30 pm at the Gunnison Library on Friday, March 29 for the next installment of the Page to Screen Series at the library. These FREE movie screenings are a celebration of books that have inspired on-screen adaptations. For March we will be screening DUNE, originally written by Frank Herbert and adapted to film (most recently, that is) in 2021 by Denis Villeneuve. Copies of the book are also available near the circulation desk. Rated PG-13 | 2h 35m Free & open to the public
Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt. Crested Butte hosts the famous Chili and Beer Festival. Every summer in Gunnison, a crowd gathers to watch America’s fourth-oldest rodeo, Cattlemen’s Days. There are also festivals in Crested Butte that celebrate local art, music, wildflowers, and more. Attending an annual event is a good way to connect with the culture of the Gunnison Valley. You might even create a new tradition for you and your family and friends!
