Gunnison County Libraries
Gunnison County has a seven-decade history of library service to Gunnison and Crested Butte residents and visitors. Our libraries include Crested Butte Library and Gunnison Library, and the Center for Adult and Family Education. The first library was established in 1939 in the basement of Webster Hall in Gunnison by the American Association of University Women with a grand total of 2,000 volumes. Finally, in 1965, Gunnison County designated this library the Gunnison County Public Library. In 1975 the library moved to its present Gunnison location and a small addition was completed in 1983. Much of this was made possible through the vision and support of local philanthropist Ann Zugelder for whom the library building is named.

Event Details
Join Ellen Friedman, PT, MA, PCC in an exploration of guiding principles that shift our experience of pain. As a physical therapist for over 35 years, she understands the science of the mind-body connection. Ellen brings an additional understanding of how all of our experiences are created that changes how people experience pain and reduces suffering. Although higher levels of pain seem to correlate with higher levels of suffering, greater peace and ease is available. This can lead to a more meaningful and fulfilling life for individuals with pain as well as for their loved ones.
