You're invited to Village Books’ summer Open Book Talk on Tuesday, July 13th at either 11am or 5:15pm. VB co-owners Chuck and Dee Robinson will talk about a variety of books for you to consider adopting for your book groups or adding to your summer reading list. If you're in a book group, bring the whole gang. If you're not and want to be, maybe you'll meet someone to join you in starting a new group! Don't miss this celebration of books and reading!

  Tonight’s presentation is part 1 of a 2-part series.  Part 1 focuses on Southern Africa; part 2 (August 10) on East Africa.  Bring your questions and sense of adventure and explore Africa with Ron Glazier.  Through stories and anecdotes gleaned from 15 safaris to the African bush Ron Glazier reveals, through photos and narrative, what you might expect to discover during a photo safari. Africa has been a life-long passion for Glazier and his travels have taken him to the vast Serengeti plains of East Africa; the Ngorongoro Crater, the African “Garden of Eden”; the famed Okavango Delta and Kalahari Desert of Botswana; the “smoke that thunders”, the local native name of Victoria Falls; the deserts of  amibia; and even a penguin rookery near Cape Town, South Africa. Ron Glazier, Santa Ana Zoo (CA) Director, Retired, holds graduate degrees in animal ecology and animal behavior, which combined with his 37 years in the zoo field, blends an academic perspective with real-life animal experience in the interpretation of African wildlife, culture, and geography.  Now retired and living in Bellingham, Glazier is always planning his next African adventure, which also allows him to pursue his other passion of nature photography.
