Local Author Visit June Pace - Sat. Nov. 16, 3pm
The Friends of the Scotts Valley Library is hosting local author June Pace, who will present and discuss her book “Benjamin McTish and The Door Through the Grandfather Tree”, the first in the series of McTish novels for YA and older (New Adult). The event will be held Saturday, November 16 from 3:00 – 5:00 pm at the Scotts Valley Library, and the public is invited.
Described as Harry Potter meets the Celestine Prophecy, book critiques agree, Pace matches Potter in creating a world of adventure and magic, while maintaining her own fabulous story.
The McTish Series is an explosive adventure through a dimensional Gateway into another world, Coranim, a land of insight, thought and possibilities, that sits beneath the enchanted Gilley Forest.
One day Benjamin watches as a mysterious little woman steps out of a taxi and as their eyes lock a series of visual snippets unfold in his mind’s vision. His razor sharp sixth sense allows him the freedom to explore the extrasensory messages coming at him like a derailed freight train. And when Benjamin finds a peculiar relic of a key in his grandmother’s garden shed he could never know his world was about to change forever.
The second book in the series, “Benjamin McTish and the Wizards of Coranim” will be published Autumn/Winter of 2013.
Join us at the Scotts Valley Library and June Pace enjoy some refreshments. Gift packages go out to the first 15 guests who purchase the book at the discounted event rate.

Artist Reception this Saturday - Scotts Valley Library
 |
| Art by: Brent Jensen |
When: 2:00pm - 5:00pm
Where: Scotts Valley Library
Author Craig Harwood - SV Library, Aug. 17!
Come to the Scotts Valley Library on Saturday, August 17 at 2:00pm and meet Craig Harwood, author of "Quest for Flight".
Quest for Flight is a biography of a prolific scientific inventor and the principal aviation pioneer in the merican west at the turn of the nineteenth century. At a time when many grappled with the seemingly impossible "problem of aerial navigation" John. J. Montgomery independently solved the problem of human controlled flight and served as unofficial dean to a community of California based aviation pioneers at that critical tipping point in the race to conquer the skies. Santa Cruz County served as an important locale for a pivotal point in the story and represents a Kitty Hawk of the west.
Gary F. Kurutz, Principal Librarian, Special Collections, California State Library says, "In this beautifully written and thoroughly researched comprehensive biography of John J. Montgomery, Harwood and Fogel not only debunk many of the myths surrounding Montgomery and the Wrights but also provide a history of pioneer aviation in the West."
Kevin Starr - author of "California: A History" wrote - "Informed and vividly written, Quest for Flight revises the chronology of aviation in America decades prior to 1903, and in terms of geography, locates its emergence on a far, far shore from Kitty Hawk."
Join us for this wonderful opportunity to meet Craig and hear more about this fascinating period in American History, a great event for all members of the family!
New Art Exhibit Arriving August 17!
 |
| Brent Jensen |
To celebrate the new exhibit there will be an Artist Reception on August 24th from 2-5pm hosted by State Farm Laureen Yungmeyer. Come join us and meet the artist.
"My Favorite Photos" features 8 diverse, local, well-traveled artists:
Sheryl Germany
- Sheryl began her photographic journey simply as a way to document the lives and activities of her 4 children. Beginning with a small point and shoot camera, the journey began and a passion was born. Sheryl gathered most of her photographic knowledge through books and self-teaching, as well as plenty of practice.
- Captured the incredible beauty of our environment in his images for many years. His photographs showcase our deserts, mountains, forests and coastlines along with the plants, insects and animals that inhabit them. In recent years, he has included the California coastal urban environment in his work. John’s work has been published by newspapers, magazines, companies and non-profits and his images have been used for the cover of several magazines.
- Captures photographs of the scenery, flowers, and wildlife that he finds in nature. His Hummingbird Project was the first project where he had a specific goal in mind. Brent realized that he had this wonderful resource close by -- the Hummingbird Gardens at the UCSC Arboretum so he thought it would be wonderful to enlarge pictures of hummingbirds to put them on a human scale so we could more easily appreciate them and their environment. To learn more visit: www.thecrystalbridge.com.
- Often struck by the beauty of an overlooked slice of the world, that when the composition is attuned, the world is transformed into something remarkably salient. Born a native. As a global traveler, Keith has circumvented the world 26 times, visited 411 cities on all continents, and still going. His life’s work represents over 50 fine art images that he considers a striking chapter of the world around us. All of his prints are limited editions of 100. See more at www.keithkelsen.com
- Creates expressive abstract digital art. The technical process begins with a simple photograph of everyday objects, shapes and spontaneous organic forms. The photograph is transformed with special filters that, at times, reveal unusual expressions or metaphors. The endless possibilities from these methods inspire her. To see more visit: http://annelabrie.com
Conner Quinto
- A Photographer from Santa Cruz California. He studied photography at Cabrillo College and UCSC where he started out in the darkroom developing pictures the old-fashioned way, before transferring that knowledge into the digital realm. Conner specializes in Landscape and Macro photography, working in the real and the abstract. Conner also offers portrait and product photographic services.
Petcharee Tamawong
- A native of Thailand Petcharee not only photographs her unique carvings but also focuses on macro photography of flowers, landscape, commercial photography of jewelry and collections, portraits of people, birds and animal photography and wedding photography. In December 2012, as a First Place Winner, Tamawong-Benjamin won a trip to Thailand in the National Geographic Photo Contest of “My Thailand, My Story” for her Thai temple photography.
- Colin is relatively new to photography, but has been an artist for most of his life. He loves using what he has learned from the art world to help him compose interesting shots in the photography world. Colin is always looking for new angles, new locations and new subjects to challenge him. Fortunately, he does not have to go very far in California!

Redesigned Patio Now Open At the Scotts Valley Library
“The library patio is a wonderful sanctuary where you can escape to read a book”, notes Derek Timm, President of the Friends of the Scotts Valley Library. Further, he envisions, “community groups hosting gatherings, performances and events on the patio in the future.”
The patio is the result of efforts that began with a bidding process in April 2012. After design firm Janecki & Associates was selected and presented the project to the Scotts Valley City Council, the Friends of the Library awarded the project to local Scotts Valley landscaper, Coastal Evergreen. “Working with Coastal Evergreen to execute the entire patio, made for a better cohesive end-result,” says Amy West, Janecki & Associates principal and lead for the project. “This project is a reflection of our community and we stand committed to enhancing and connecting with our community.”
The process was a collaborative effort and a confluence of local expertise and generosity. Coastal Evergreen was responsible for the execution of the patio and went above and beyond to create a patio within a budget. They sourced local, donated reclaimed wood for the fence and reconfigured the existing irrigation. Larry Bush of Los Animas Concrete, donated boulders to the patio landscape, followed by local Central Home Supply who offered their time and equipment to pick up the rocks and transport them. Posts were reused and the old fencing was given to the city. The concrete was stained, lighting added and drainage hardware installed.
Not only was structural integrity important to the project, but aesthetic value was also a priority. The scale of the patio is compatible with the size of the industrial building in order to reflect as an extension of the library. Lines on the patio pick up the pattern inside the library of strong vertical and horizontal banding. Plants and colorful furniture connect with the vibrant hues as library patrons look outward through the glass panels.
The brightly colored furniture was also made possible by generous donations to the library and is just one of the sponsorship opportunities at the busy library, that sees over 15,000 patrons monthly. Business and personal donors can have their name engraved on decking planks, purchase furniture, or their family names displayed on colorful ceramic leaves created by local artist Beth Allison Gripenstraw. For more details about sponsorship or donation opportunitions, visit our fundraising page or contact Derek Timm at 831/239-9203. With the expertise of Janecki & Associates, Coastal Evergreen and countless patrons from the community, the library patio is now available as a peaceful outdoor resource that further beautifies our popular library and makes it an enjoyable place to visit. See you on the patio!
