The Georgetown Library and Arts and Culture El Dorado is hosting a special evening with Stephen Meadows, our current Poet Laureate, on Wednesday, July 31st from 5:30 - 8:00. This is the first stop on the 2024 - 25 Poet Laureate Trail which allows the public to join the El Dorado County Poet Laureate on a literary tour of the county. The Laureate is joined by local poets, Poetry Out Loud winners and special guests at El Dorado County Libraries in each district in the county for free poetry readings and events. An Open Mic will also be part of the event.
Thursday, Aug. 1, 2:00 pm
Join us at our poetry group, Thursdays at Two. The group meets every 1st & 3rd Thursday at 2:00 here at the library. Patterned after the popular Placerville group, Tuesdays at Two, the Georgetown Library version will be led by Taylor Graham, EDC Poet Laureate from 2016 - 2018. If you love poetry, write poetry, or dream about writing poetry, this group is for you! Assigned subjects will be offered to write poems about and then the poems are brought back to the group. This is not really a critique process but reading poems aloud to the group is a good way to hear what's working and what isn't. Participants also read from a list of established poets or bring poetry to share. There is also a 'word can'. Everyone pulls a word or phrase from the can and then uses them to write a poem in 10-15 minutes. This produces some strange and wild stuff and a lot of laughter!!!!

Conservation Ambassadors provide a worldwide voice to wildlife by providing a permanent, loving home for displaced, abused, abandoned or permanently injured wild and exotic animals. Sharing these animals through the Wild Things outreach program with school children and learners of all ages is meant to educate them about conservation, connect them to the wild world, and inspire them to protect the planet. This show is roughly 50 minutes long.
Please note that in order to ensure the happiness and wellbeing of the animals, Conservation Ambassadors do not guarantee the presence of any specific animal at the show.

Monday, Aug. 5, 4-5pm (Mondays 4-5pm and Thursdays 4:30-6:30pm)
Intro to Python Programming for Data Science
*Ages 12 and Up
**Space is limited and registration is required.
Join us for an engaging four-week Introduction to Python Programming class, where you'll learn the fundamentals of data analysis. The class will meet Mondays from 4 to 5pm & Thursdays from 4:30-6:30pm.
This hands-on course is designed for beginners and will start with the basics of Python programming, including variables, data types, and control structures, all using Jupyter/Colab notebooks. As we progress, you'll learn to work with libraries, handle data, and perform basic operations. By the end of the course, you'll be able to import data into a Pandas DataFrame, conduct simple data analysis, and create informative graphs.
Whether you're new to programming or looking to expand your skills, this class provides a comprehensive foundation in Python with practical applications.
Prerequisite:
Have a google account and log into https://colab.research.google.com/ once ahead of time. We'll use Colab for running python "notebooks" so we can work from any computer and don't need to install anything for the class.
*Work on your own laptop. The library has a few laptops that can be used if you do not have your own - please call Reesa at: (530) 621-5110 to confirm availability.
Curriculum:
Week 1: Introduction to Python and Google Colab. Covering variables and data types (numeric, strings, boolean), truthiness, and basic control flow (if-else statements).
Week 2: Exploring more complex data types (lists, tuples, dictionaries) and advanced control flow (loops: for and while).
Week 3: Introducing functions and modules in Python. Basic introduction to pandas for data analysis, focusing on importing data and initial data exploration.
Week 4: Building on pandas skills with more advanced data manipulation and introduction to data visualization using pandas and matplotlib for generating graphs.
Presenter:
Dan Norris is a systems engineer at Intel with many years experience using Python for automation and data analysis. He studied computer science at Georgia Tech and has taught programming and Linux classes in years past. In his free time, Dan enjoys running, bicycling, and hiking with his wife and dogs.
