The Early Childhood Council of La Plata County and Durango Public Library present a six part series of free workshops for parents/caregivers and their preschool age children. The workshops will focus on key categories of kindergarten readiness and include activities that support growth in early literacy, math, motor and social emotional skills. Preschool aged children will receive a free book and other goodies to help support their readiness to thrive in school (supplies limited). To get the most out of these workshops we highly encourage attendance at all sessions. Registration is required. Register online at or call 970-375-3380.

Join local resident Jeff Sambur as he presents a Holocaust story of survival, immigration, adaptation and resiliency. It is history from a very personal point of view as he shares the tale of his own parents, Sid Sambur and Clara Zinn and their journey from the Old World to the New. Sid and Clara left their homes, businesses, family and friends in order to save themselves as Europe devolved into Nazism. It’s a story that needs to be told. But, it's not all gloom as the Samburs forged their own path towards achieving the American Dream.
