Celebrate the 100th anniversary of Winnie the Pooh with an unplugged afternoon at Explore Books, a screen-free gathering presented by Anderson Ranch, Explore Books, and the Roaring Fork Digital Wellness Coalition. Enjoy storytelling, hands-on artmaking, and browsing beloved books in a relaxed, family-friendly setting. Leave your phone at the door and reconnect through stories, creativity, and the simple joy of spending time together.
The Roaring Fork Digital Wellness Coalition (DWC) is a community-led group of nearly 80 parents, educators, health professionals, and local organizations helping youth and families build healthier relationships with technology. Founded in Aspen in 2026, the DWC creates shared norms, practical family resources, and space for community conversation, so tech becomes a tool that serves us instead of draining us.
