TAKE AN ADVENTURE WITHOUT LEAVING THE LIBRARY!
Armchair Traveler is back for another trip around the globe!
Join us in the Cordingley Room on the first Thursday of each month at 6:30 pm for a FREE talk from a community member about their recent travels somewhere in the world.
To start us off, we will be exploring some wilderness areas with a story that is sure to inspire us all to get out and explore, regardless of where we are in life.
Food inspired by our travels will be provided for each event, as well.
Here’s a look at who we have scheduled to appear starting in September.
September 3
Kyle Reedy – Perspective is Everything
Kyle Reedy is a dedicated backcountry adventure hunter, amateur outdoor writer, and Stoic practitioner who consistently tests his limits in the most rugged landscapes in North America.
In the summer of 2024, deep in Montana’s remote Bob Marshall Wilderness, a routine camp chore shattered Kyle’s world—literally. A freak firewood accident left him with a catastrophic eye injury, triggering a high-stakes mountain rescue and a brutal medical battle against a blinding, aggressive infection.
But this isn’t just a story about a wilderness medical emergency. It’s a story about not letting an injury define him, but rather overcoming the ultimate adversity and continuing to live life how he wants.
Join Kyle for an unforgettable, visually gripping presentation on survival, adaptation, and resilience. Hopefully you’ll be inspired to keep a positive perspective whatever challenges you face ahead.
