Ethnohistorian and Registered Professional Archeologist Steven Baker presents the story of Juan Rivera and the first Spanish company to travel to the Ute territories of Southwestern Colorado in 1765 in a quest to find silver, the Colorado River, and the mysterious bearded men of Teguayo. In his seminal book, Baker is the first scholar to examine extensively Rivera's two journeys from New Mexico to present-day Delta, Colorado, a decade before the Dominguez-Escalante expedition.

Visit the Delta Library to view art by Heidl Hasenauer. Hasenauer is a Colorado based artist who was technically trained in 3D sculptural arts. Her desire to create quickly and with little to no plan led her away from long-drawn out techniques and toward fast drying acrylic paint. The focus of this series is based on understanding the effects of experience and phenomena on the human psyche. This art exhibit will be on display at the Delta Library until July 27. For more information, visit deltalibraries.org.
