Newsletter May 14-15, 2009

We’ve just sent out the email newsletter with the Headwaters reading announcement (see post below) and the following miscellaneous fun stuff. (Since one batch of emails went out today, and the other tomorrow, some of you may not yet have this in your in-box. Don’t fret. It’s probably on the way. If it never arrives, well, that’s when you need to send us an email to add you to our list!)

June 10-14: Volunteers are needed to help build Bozeman’s Dinosaur Playground. For more information, go to www.dinosaurplayground.org or call 406-551-4972. Also, see the gingerbread model of the playground in our window featuring great books on the value of play for both children and adults and pick up a brochure on how you can help make Bozeman’s Dinosaur Playground a reality.  Prominently featured is Play: How It Shapes the Brain, Opens the Imagination, and Invigorates the Soul by Stuart Brown, M.D., a book that is heartily recommended by local reader, Mary Vant Hull.

And, one final note for those of you who’ve enjoyed The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery (or have heard of it and been intrigued by this indie-bestseller phenomenon): the author has a new book, Gourmet Rhapsody, scheduled to be released on August 25th. You can call or email us to pre-order.
