Upcoming Events
Celebrating Intergenerational Issues!
Intergeneration Day Means Libraries! Libraries are a cornerstone of our democracy and are even more important in the information age. Libraries bring generations and communities together. The American Library Association and the Colorado Association of Libraries, along with 30 more library associations, support and promote Intergeneration Day/Week, which begins Sunday, October 4, 2009. Join the Kraemer Family Library and UCCS as we present several events that celebrate the multiple generations that make up the UCCS campus.
The Intergeneration Foundation, founded by Mr. Sandy Kraemer in 1997, has made libraries their central theme for 2009. The Intergeneration Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)3 public charity based in Colorado Springs, CO. The Kraemer Family Library is proud to be part of their effort to bring the generations together.
Unless otherwise noted, all events take place in the Kraemer Family Library, 3rd floor apse last 1.5 hours to include opportunity for Q&A and discussion, and are free and open to the public.
No events pending at this time. More events are planned for Spring 2009 so stay tuned!
Next Semester Events
Looks what's planned so far for Spring 2010! More details will be added at a later date.
Gaming through the Generations
Date & Time: TBA
The Library will continue with the intergeneration theme and organize an event centered on gaming through the generations with Dr. Michael Larson, the El Pomar Chair of Engineering and Innovation at UCCS.
This event is free and open to the public. If you have any questions, please contact Hans Post Uiterweer.
Edible Books 2010
Date & Time: TBA
The second annual Edible Books contest where anyone, of any generation, can bring a dish that depicts a book. Learn about last year's First Annual Edible Books Contest.
The International Edible Book Festival is a yearly event held on or about April 1. Since 1999 readers and bibliophiles have been creating books made of edible materials for everyone to enjoy. The only rule? Make edible art that has something to do with books as shapes or content. Information and inspiration can be found on the Festival's home page at http://www.books2eat.com.
This event is free and open to the public. If you have any questions, please contact Hans Post Uiterweer.
