That said, if you rely on your bike to get you from Point A to Point B, you'll want to take in some basic knowledge. Think about it: Do you know how to handle a tire blowout, gear cluster fail or chainsuck? Bikes that log a lot of miles and are a primary mode of transportation need extra care and maintenance so they’re safe and comfortable. Wheat Ridge Cyclery will teach bike maintenance basics and then stick around to answer specific questions about your ride and what it needs to be road ready. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">We have sessions set up at different locations, so put your pedal to the medal and get on over the library.</p> <p> <strong>Arvada</strong><br /> 3 – 4:30 p.m. Saturday, April 22</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> <strong>Lakewood</strong><br /> 12 – 1:30 p.m. Saturday, April 22</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Belmar</strong><br />12 – 1:30 p.m. Saturday, May 20</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Wheat Ridge</strong><br /> 2:30 – 4 p.m. Saturday, May 20</p> <p> Suitable for: Teens and Adults</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-locations-tag field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/locations/arvada" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Arvada</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/locations/belmar" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Belmar</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/locations/lakewood" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Lakewood</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/locations/wheat-ridge" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Wheat Ridge</a></div></div></div> Fri, 14 Apr 2017 15:46:48 +0000 Comm Test 186328 at https://jeffcolibrary.org https://jeffcolibrary.org/library-news-blog/street-rides#comments Author Talk with Ed Sealover https://jeffcolibrary.org/library-news-blog/author-talk-ed-sealover <div class="field field-name-post-date field-type-ds field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">April 11, 2017</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-author field-type-text field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">by:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Cindy</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-post field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> <p><img class="image-float-left" src="/sites/default/files/blogs/library_news/43991_GN_Sealover_AV_Blog_620x400.png" alt="Author Talk Sealover" width="200" />Do you love beer, history, and hiking?

The author of the New York Times bestseller and beloved book club favorite <em>The Kitchen House</em> continues the story of Jamie Pyke, son of both a slave and master of Tall Oakes, whose deadly secret compels him to take a treacherous journey through the Underground Railroad.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><em>The Kitchen House</em> was published in 2010 and became a grassroots bestseller. Grissom’s fans connected so deeply to the book’s characters that she found herself being asked over and over “what happens next?”</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><em>Glory Over Everything</em> opens in 1830, and Jamie, who fled from the Virginian plantation he once called home, is passing in Philadelphia society as a wealthy white silversmith. After many years of striving, Jamie has achieved acclaim and security, only to discover that his aristocratic lover Caroline is pregnant. Before he can reveal his real identity to her, he learns that his beloved servant Pan has been captured and sold into slavery in the South. Pan’s father, to whom Jamie owes a great debt, pleads for Jamie’s help, and Jamie agrees, knowing the journey will take him perilously close to Tall Oakes and the ruthless slave hunter who is still searching for him. Meanwhile, Caroline’s father learns and exposes Jamie’s secret, and Jamie loses his home, his business, and finally Caroline.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Heartbroken and with nothing to lose, Jamie embarks on a trip to a North Carolina plantation where Pan is being held with a former Tall Oakes slave named Sukey, who is intent on getting Pan to the Underground Railroad. Soon the three of them are running through the Great Dismal Swamp, the notoriously deadly hiding place for escaped slaves.

Everyone moving through these pages, especially James Pyke, established in this story as a durable character of American fiction, is tangled in a great web of secrets too important to keep and too dangerous to tell. Grissom has done the near-impossible: she has kept the tension alive, tension that doesn’t let up until the final page.” (Jacqueline Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean and Two if by Sea)</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> <!--[endif]--></p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-locations-tag field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/locations/wheat-ridge" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Wheat Ridge</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-events-tag field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/events/events-adults" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Events - Adults</a></div></div></div> Mon, 25 Jul 2016 16:19:23 +0000 Anonymous 184208 at https://jeffcolibrary.org https://jeffcolibrary.org/library-news-blog/author-visit-phone-kathleen-grissom#comments Book Group Plus Author Visit https://jeffcolibrary.org/library-news-blog/book-group-plus-author-visit <div class="field field-name-post-date field-type-ds field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">July 14, 2016</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-author field-type-text field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">by:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">carol</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-post field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> <p><img class="image-float-left" src="http://jeffcolibrary.org/sites/default/files/styles/blog/public/40080_WR_AnnMarie_AV_Blog_620x400.png?itok=TzegWAuf" alt="" width="210" height="136" />Wheat Ridge Library's Thursday morning book group takes it up a notch with a visit from Author and Editor Ann Marie. She'll be discussing her book, <em>Letters to Ann: The Korean War 1950-51</em>. "Letters to Ann" is a series of heartwarming and humorous letters written to a four year-old girl from her dad while he served as a medical officer in the Korean War. The ultimate question in this true story is whether the solider makes it back home.</p> <p>Ann Marie began her career in journalism as a television news reporter and morning anchor in Albuquerque, N.M. She then attended law school and practiced as a trial litigation attorney in Denver. After semi-retiring, she turned to editing and published this first book, which was a double-winner at the juried 2014 Colorado Independent Publishers Association EVVY Awards. It received third place for editing and first place for military/military history.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Suitable for: Adults</p> <p class="MsoNormal">9 a.m. Thursday, July 21</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-locations-tag field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/locations/wheat-ridge" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Wheat Ridge</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-events-tag field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/events/events-adults" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Events - Adults</a></div></div></div> Thu, 14 Jul 2016 19:48:00 +0000 Anonymous 182979 at https://jeffcolibrary.org https://jeffcolibrary.org/library-news-blog/book-group-plus-author-visit#comments Resolve to Protect Your Identity https://jeffcolibrary.org/library-news-blog/resolve-protect-your-identity <div class="field field-name-post-date field-type-ds field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">January 11, 2016</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-author field-type-text field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">by:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">carol</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-post field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> <p><img alt="" class="media-image" height="350" width="620" typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://jeffcolibrary.org/sites/default/files/styles/blog_fit_width/public/38830_SL_BL_WR_Protect%20ID_blog.png?itok=FG-WMpHd" /></p> <p>It's the time of year for working on resolutions.
