Habitat Library

Imagine a library about the neighborhoods where you live. Books about birds, trees, soil, rivers, cloudscapes -- and the people who have come before, and are with us still.

HABITAT BOOK OF THE WEEK (our 1st on Bluesky!)
CHEAP LAND COLORADO, another insightful & immersive book from Ted Conover. It’s one of the best books we’ve read about “dwelling in place.” A rural place coping with the increasingly modern world….

What we’re reading now:
A WATERSHED MOMENT: The American West in the Age of Limits, a collection of essays that touch on myths & realities of the West, in an age that asks for more than the personal grit & growth of past times. What if we listened to the land, and what healthy communities need?

SORRY FOR THE TILT — but here’s one of the our favorite books: William Wyckoff’s How to Read the American West.
A field guide that in the words of historian William Cronin, will put you “well on your way to reading the western landscape for yourself…”
That’s also our hope for the Habitat Library!
