Welcome to the Rancho Mirage Public Library…
In my six years in Rancho Mirage, this Season seems bigger, more crowded, longer, and more
energetic than ever! I hope you agree that the Rancho Mirage Public Library is contributing a
calendar that has something for all ages and interests. In this April – June Guide you will see a
lot of events. Some highlights:
This program guide is packed with
new presenters

important and timely talk

Sadly, in January, we lost a dear friend and our art historian Robert Brasier. His lectures

his smile, his humor, his intellect, and his outstanding contributions to our calendar.
