SUMMARY:Match-Makers Book Club: Drunk on Love
DESCRIPTION:Join the library for our latest pop-up book club featuring romance reads and craft time! We’ll have book discussion and craft time over your beverage of choice. Bring a project you’ve been working on\, or peruse idea books from the library and coloring pages. Our July selection is “Drunk on Love” by Jasmine Guillory. Place your hold or ask at the circulation desk for a copy today! \nWe’ll meet at Bluff Top Vineyard rain or shine (27168 Bauer Rd\, Winona\, MN 55987)\, just a 16 minute drive from La Crescent Library. Please support our business partner if you are able. Snacks/food are welcome while we meet. \nABOUT THE BOOK:\nMargot Noble needs some relief from the stress of running the family winery with her brother. Enter Luke: sexy\, charming\, and best of all in the too-small world of Napa\, a stranger. The chemistry between them is undeniable\, and Margot is delighted that she lucked into the perfect one-night stand she’ll never have to see again. That is\, until the winery’s newest hire\, Luke\, walks in the next morning. Margot is determined to keep things purely professional\, but when their every interaction reminds her of the attraction still bubbling between them\, it proves to be much more challenging than she expects. \nLuke Williams had it all\, but when he quits his high-salary tech job in Silicon Valley in a blaze of burnout and moves back to Napa to help a friend\, he realizes he doesn’t want to tell the world–or his mom–why he’s now working at a winery. His mom loves bragging about her successful son–how can he admit that the job she’s so proud of broke him? Luke has no idea what is next for him\, but one thing is certain: he wants more from the incredibly smart and sexy woman he hooked up with–even after he learns she’s his new boss. But even if they can find a way to be together that wouldn’t be an ethical nightmare\, would such a successful woman really want a tech-world dropout? Set against a lush backdrop of Napa Valley wine country\, nothing goes to your head as fast as a taste of love–even if it means changing all your plans.

SUMMARY:Match-Makers Book Club: How to End a Love Story
DESCRIPTION:Join the library for our latest pop-up book club featuring romance reads and craft time! We’ll have book discussion and craft time over your beverage of choice. Bring a project you’ve been working on\, or peruse idea books from the library and coloring pages. Our July selection is “How to End a Love Story” by Yulin Kuang. Place your hold or ask at the circulation desk for a copy today! \nWe’ll meet at Bluff Top Vineyard rain or shine (27168 Bauer Rd\, Winona\, MN 55987)\, just a 16 minute drive from La Crescent Library. Please support our business partner if you are able. Snacks/food are welcome while we meet. \nABOUT THE BOOK:\nHelen Zhang hasn’t seen Grant Shepard once in the thirteen years since the tragic accident that bound their lives together forever. Now a bestselling author\, Helen pours everything into her career. She’s even scored a coveted spot in the writers’ room of the TV adaptation of her popular young adult novels\, and if she can hide her imposter syndrome and overcome her writer’s block\, surely the rest of her life will fall into place too. LA is the fresh start she needs. After all\, no one knows her there. \nExcept… Grant has done everything in his power to move on from the past\, including building a life across the country. And while the panic attacks have never quite gone away\, he’s well liked around town as a screenwriter. He knows he shouldn’t have taken the job on Helen’s show\, but it will open doors to developing his own projects that he just can’t pass up. Grant’s exactly as Helen remembers him—charming\, funny\, popular\, and lovable in ways that she’s never been. And Helen’s exactly as Grant remembers too—brilliant\, beautiful\, closed off. But working together is messy\, and electrifying\, and Helen’s parents\, who have never forgiven Grant\, have no idea he’s in the picture at all. When secrets come to light\, they must reckon with the fact that theirs was never meant to be any kind of love story. And yet… the key to making peace with their past—and themselves—might just lie in holding on to each other in the present.

SUMMARY:Meditations on Trees and Stones: new work by Jennifer Williams
DESCRIPTION:Meditations on Trees and Stones: new work by Jennifer Williams\nOpening reception: Friday September 12\, 5-6:30 p.m.\nThe exhibition and reception are free & open to the public. \nGallery Hours:\n1 – 8 p.m. Monday thru Thursday\n1 – 5 p.m. Friday thru Sunday\nClosed holidays\, UWL Spring Break\, and summers \nThe University of Wisconsin–La Crosse (UWL) Art Gallery is pleased to announce Meditations on Trees and Stones\, an exhibition by distinguished artist and UWL faculty member Jennifer Williams\, opening Friday\, September 12\, with a public reception from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. in the University Gallery\, located on the first floor of the Truman T. Lowe Center for the Arts. \nA professor at UWL since 1997\, Williams holds both a BFA from Indiana University and an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. Her work—rooted in patterns found in nature\, and constructed environments—spans paintings and drawings\, exploring form through evocative processes and media. \nMeditations on Trees and Stones invites viewers into an immersive contemplation of elemental landscapes. Drawing inspiration from the quiet resilience of natural forms\, Williams engages with the subtleties of texture\, structure\, color and space—crafting works that evoke both reflection and connection. Her layered imagery and rhythmic compositions encourage a deeper\, meditative encounter with the natural world. \nThis exhibition marks a return to themes central to Williams’s artistic voice—landscapes that serve not just as subjects\, but as frameworks for merging observation\, memory\, and abstraction. Her work frequently resides in public and private collections nationwide\, and she continues to enrich the art community both as creator and educator. \nThe UWL Art Gallery\, showcasing works by students\, faculty\, regional\, and national artists\, serves as a vibrant forum for interdisciplinary dialogue within the arts. Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday from 1:00 to 8:00 p.m.\, and Friday through Sunday from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. Exhibitions at the UWL Art Gallery are free and open to the public. \nJoin us for the opening reception to meet the artist and experience this thoughtful exploration of nature’s quiet presence.

SUMMARY:Duos with Dave Marck: New York City jazz pianist with UWL faculty and students
DESCRIPTION:The University of Wisconsin–La Crosse Department of Music is proud to present “Duos with Dave Marck” on Friday\, September 12\, 2025\, at 7:30 p.m. in Annett Recital Hall\, located in the Truman T. Lowe Center for the Arts. This free concert is open to the public and promises an evening of intimate\, spontaneous jazz improvisation featuring world-class musicianship. \nThe program will spotlight Dave Marck\, a jazz pianist with 45 years of experience in New York City’s vibrant music scene\, performing in duo settings with UWL Jazz Program Director Jon Ailabouni (trumpet) and Ailabouni’s immediate predecessor Dr. Jeff Erickson (saxophone)\, along with select jazz emphasis students from the university. \nEach performance will unfold as a unique musical conversation. While the repertoire will be chosen in advance\, the arrangements and interpretations will emerge organically in the moment. This improvisational approach—particularly in the duo format—allows for maximum flexibility\, deep listening\, and an exchange of ideas between the performers. “Think of it as a real-time musical dialogue\,” says Ailabouni. “In a duo\, every choice matters. There’s both a responsibility and opportunity to spontaneously shape the music. When the musicians are both daring and selfless in this context the effect is electric!” \nFor the participating students\, the concert offers an invaluable mentor/mentee experience: performing side-by-side with a seasoned veteran of the New York jazz community. This tradition of learning by doing—sharing the “bandstand” with master musicians—is a hallmark of jazz culture and pedagogy. \nAbout Dave Marck: a native of La Crosse\, Wisconsin\, Dave Marck has built an extraordinary career in New York City\, performing extensively as a jazz pianist and collaborating with artists across the performing arts. For nearly 30 years\, he worked with Jacque D’Amboise’s National Dance Institute\, bringing live music to thousands of young dancers. He has served as an accompanist for the New School of Jazz and Contemporary Music at New York University and has worked with an eclectic range of performers\, from comedians Joan Rivers and Cloris Leachman to Broadway luminaries Charolette D’Amboise\, Terrence Mann\, and Tony Yazbeck. \nDespite his decades in New York\, Marck returns to the Coulee Region annually\, where his performances have become highly anticipated events. His quartet concert on the Viterbo Fine Arts Main Stage has drawn loyal audiences year after year; this season’s performance will take place just two days before the UWL recital\, on Wednesday\, September 10. \nHOW TO ATTEND \nWhat: Duos with Dave Marck\nWhen: Friday\, September 12 at 7:30 p.m.\nWhere: Annett Recital Hall\, Lowe Center for the Arts\nAdmission: Free and open to the public.\nMore Info: Contact the music department at 608.785.8409
