Monthly meeting of the Library Advisory Board

Brownsville Community Library presents Australia's Wild Side by travel photographer Don Lyon. Lyon, who has explored more than 100 countries and considers Australia a naturalist's paradise and says he often feels "present at the creation" when traveling in the outback, "down under." Every plant, every animal has an unusual story of survival and adaptation to tell. Birds and animals are quite approachable, and the landscape is pristine and beautiful.

Turkish Treasure -- The glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome is laid out, as if on buffet table, for the inquisitive traveler. Join us as we explore both ancient Anatolia and modern Turkey. Friendly people and fascinating traditions abound. Your guide Donald Lyon is a retired photographic tour leader with a dozen trips to Turkey to draw from. Join our local traveler, Don Lyon, as he takes you on a tour of the area.

The Advance Directive is a set of instructions that expresses a person’s health care wishes if they were ever in the hospital and unable to speak for themselves. The Advance Directive tells the medical team who can speak for the patient and what the patient’s medical wishes are. While this document can feel overwhelming, these classes will attempt to make the confusing feel more understandable.
