Teton County Library in Jackson presents “Spring into Solar: Energy Options,” April 23, from 7:00 pm-8:30 pm in the Ordway Auditorium. Presented in collaboration with the Murie Center, Andy Tyson, practitioner, designer and installer of solar electric systems, will offer practical advice for homeowners considering adding solar power to their home energy portfolio. The presentation includes a case study of a Jackson Hole resident who has converted to solar energy, and the costs involved.
Tyson worked as an international mountain guide for 16 years before launching Creative Energies, based in Lander and Victor, Idaho. He designs, sells and installs solar electric, windelectric and geothermal heat pump systems.
Also celebrating the festival will be the book display, “Going Green for the Planet,” and the debut of new recycling bins to make recycling more visible and user-friendly at the library.
The library’s Youth Services has invited elementary school students to write earth-oriented poems in tribute to both Earth Day and National Poetry Month. The poems are on display.

The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
