How Will You Be Remembered? -- Using Your Life Stories to Bridge Generations

life stories

 

Many people want to record their life stories, perhaps put them into a beautiful book or video, but don't know how to go about it. This 45-minute presentation will give you some ideas on how to start, and more importantly how to finish this worthwhile endeavor. The program will provide seven tips for telling your life story that will make it interesting and worth reading.

Join us for an introduction into creating one of the most valuable assets you can leave your posterity. Tom & Alison Taylor of Pictures and Stories, Inc., have taught thousands of individuals and created over 100 personal history books and videos. Members of the Association of Personal Historians will be present to answer your specific questions. The presentation will take place on Tuesday, February 7th at 7 pm in the Roger Harlan Meeting Room.

  

Come in and Check Out a Sundance Movie

 

Join the Park City Library in celebrating the 2012 Sundance Film Festival with a display of more than 130 award winning titles from past festivals! We will feature famous titles such as "An Inconvenient Truth" and "Winter's Bone" to little known gems like "The Whale Rider" and "Wordplay".  Our Sundance Collection includes films on a wide range of topics from environmentalism in "The Cove", "Everything's Cool" and "Who Killed the Electric Car" to racism in "Trouble the Water," and "American Blackout". We also have a collection of films starring, directed by or produced by Sundance founder, Robert Redford.

Park City Library will be open during the entire festival, January 19th to 29th. Just tell the parking lot attendants you are going to the library, and come in to checkout up to five DVDs for your own Sundance Festival at home!
