Looking ahead, the 2018 ‘Music on the Green’ Summer Concert Series continues with David Gerald on Sunday, August 12th on the Front Plaza from 5–7pm. The talented musician’s dynamic, blues-influenced rock and soul has been captivating audiences across the country for over a decade. Gerald grew up to the sounds of the blues, R&B and rock in his hometown of Detroit where he started playing guitar at the age of 15, influenced by Prince and ‘80s-rock guitarists. He’d eventually rediscover the blues, listening to the likes of Albert King, ZZ Hill, B.B. King, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Gerald now performs at clubs and festivals across the United States.
In partnership with Gallatin Valley Food and HRDC, the Library offers FREE Summer Lunch on weekdays from noon–1pm. Families have the option to stop by for a complimentary healthy lunch in between the days’ activities. Meals served are tasty, follow USDA nutrition guidelines, and help ALL families save money. Summer is a time to bring people together for food, friends, and fun!
Yoga for All abilities continues through the summer months. This weekly event is held every Tuesday at 11am and noon in the Large Community Room. Open to all ages and abilities, instructors focus on the basics of yoga, breathing, and mind/body connections. Please bring your own mat and any props you choose to use, including blocks or straps.
Terra Kopf instructs the 11am class. Terra completed her teacher training at the Maui Yoga Shala and additional training at the Yandara Yoga Institute in Baja, Mexico. Brooke Russell, a Yoga Motion-certified instructor, continues to teach the noon class.
