Join award-winning author Amy M. Hale for an engaging exploration of place, nature, and the sacred everyday.

Hale lives and works on Spider Ranch, a 50,000-acre cattle operation in the rugged terrain of Central Arizona, where she and her husband, Gail Steiger, cowboy together while working to raise food sustainably and care for the land in partnership with government agencies.

Hale and Steiger frequently share the stage, blending storytelling, poetry, and music in performances inspired by their deep connection to the land and natural world.

In her sixth book, "Drinking Wild Water" (TTUP, 2025), Hale explores the landscapes she inhabits and invites readers to discover and inhabit their own place in the world. Her distinctive voice, shaped by flash writing and slam poetry, offers a thoughtful perspective for anyone seeking a deeper relationship with the everyday and looking to move beyond what is safe but limiting.

Admission is $15 for non-members and $10 for museum members.

Please join us for an evening of storytelling. Where science meets The Moth Story Hour, this lively evening features personal stories told by NAU students, faculty, and staff. Storytellers share the human side of science: unexpected challenges, difficult relationships, embarrassing moments, hard won successes, and the experiences that have shaped who they are. Funny, moving, vulnerable, and inspiring, these stories remind us that behind every discovery is a person with a story worth telling.

Free parking for this event is available for attendees in lot P13, right behind the Cline Library.

Join us on first Fridays for presentations on a special library-related topic. In October, we'll be discussing the Library's archive!
