Join local author David Grasse for a presentation of his book, The Bisbee Massacre. In December 1883, five outlaws attempted to rob the A.A. Castaneda Mercantile establishment in Bisbee. The robbery was a disaster: four citizens shot dead, one a pregnant woman. The failed heist was national news, with the subsequent manhunt, trial and execution of the alleged perpetrators followed by newspapers from New York to San Francisco. The Bisbee Massacre was as momentous as the infamous blood feud between the Earp brothers and the cowboys two years earlier, and led to the only recorded lynching in the town of Tombstone--John Heath, a sporting man, who was thought to be the mastermind. New research indicates he may have been innocent. This comprehensive history takes a fresh look at the event that marked the end of the Wild West period in the Arizona Territory.

To many people, storytime and libraries go hand-in-hand. Not only is storytime a great free form of entertainment for parents looking for activities for their children, but library storytime can provide a bonanza of cognitive benefits as well. In many ways, storytime is the heart and soul of the library- not only does it bring together parents, caregivers and children but it also showcases the depth and breadth of your local public library’s commitment to your community with respect to early literacy and child development.

"El Burrito Cowboy Saves Douglas, AZ," written and directed by local filmmaker and KGUN 9 photojournalist Alfonso Sahagun Casaus, is a 45-minute family movie that highlights the town of Douglas. The film's heroes -- El Burrito Cowboy, El Paquita Vaquita and Amiga Sue -- hope to save the town from a spooky phantom that has taken over the historic Gadsden Hotel and a man named "Tor the Terrible" who is trying to take over all the buildings on G Avenue. Sahagun Casaus was born in Agua Prieta, Mexico, and grew up on both sides of the border. “I have a lot of fond memories of Douglas,” he said in a news release. “When I walk down G Avenue I see my mother, my father, my sisters and my friends.” The film was shot almost entirely in Douglas, with a few scenes shot at Trail Dust Town in Tucson, according to the news release.
