Lifelong Learning lectures resume in October
Back by popular demand is another series of six free Lifelong Learning lectures at the library on Saturdays from 3 to 4:30 p.m. starting on October 4. Mark your calendars for these interesting presentations that have been arranged by Pagosa residents Patsy Lindblad and Pam Kircher, who have taken over from Biz Greene, the program’s creator and organizer.
