Armchair Adventure at CBPL, Jan. 10

The “Armchair Film Adventure” series at Coos Bay Public Library continues on Tuesday, January 10th at 2:00 p.m. in the Myrtlewood Meeting Room.  An installment in Richard Bangs’ Adventures with Purpose, Switzerland: Quest for the Sublime is this month’s feature. Switzerland — a country of great peaks, waterfalls, glaciers and grand scenery — served as the birthplace of adventure tourism, the wellspring of ecotourism and an inspiration for organized tours into the wild.  In Adventures with Purpose – Switzerland: Quest for the Sublime, adventurer Richard Bangs explores the origins of adventure travel and searches for what philosophers and poets of the past called “the sublime.” Richard’s quest to unearth the true meaning of “sublime” begins in the heart of Switzerland: Lucerne. Later, he travels to the chic winter resort of St. Moritz, climbs aboard the famous Glacier Express train and heads to Zermatt and experiences the rapture of the Matterhorn. Everyone is welcome at this program sponsored by The Friends of Coos Bay Public Library.  No admission is charged and refreshments will be served.  Please call 269-1101 for further information about this program.  The library is located at 525 Anderson Avenue in Coos Bay.
