We found another wonderful program offered through the Douglas County Library District. Here's your chance to learn about different places in the world.
"The World Travel Series returns to Parker Library (10851 South Crossroads Drive) this April. Every Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. from April 1-22 features a new adventure.
April 1 - Alaska Adventure
This lively and humorous presentation is suitable for all ages and features photos of the last frontier, artifacts, and a discussion. Naomi Gaede-Penner is the author of the non-fiction "Prescription for Adventure" book series, which tell stories of her parents and her family. Her books "Prescription for Finding Home in Alaska" and "Prescription for Adventure: Bush Pilot Doctor" will be available for purchase.
April 8 - Peace Corps Experience in Samoa
Valerie Hopkins will share her experiences living in Samoa as a Peace Corps volunteer. She'll also provide tips to travelers who may want to see Samoa's beautiful beaches, its distinctive artwork, or Robert Louis Stevenson's home.
April 15 - A New Look at Vietnam
If the thought of Vietnam conjures images of "Apocalypse Now"- you don't know the Vietnam of today! Rochelle Logan and Andrea Wyant will share stories about their recent adventure in Vietnam - its friendly people, untouched beaches, fresh seafood, and bustling markets.
April 22 - Amazon Rain Forest
Journey to a world of exotic beauty deep in the heart of Brazil. Jose Goncalves will share his experiences in the native villages on the banks of the Amazon River. See their homes, families, children, and artwork. You'll also see villages in the areas of the rainforest that have been deforested and see its impact on the people living there.
