Now that you survived Snowmageddon, it’s time to enjoy the weekend. The wet, chilly, cloudy weekend…

Oh well, at least it’s now snowing, right? And there are several choice options going on round the Rock to get you out and about.

The first of several Great Decisions at the Library sessions will take place from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 16 at Bethany Lutheran Church (7968 Finch Road NE). The subject is: “Refugees and Global Migration,” with moderator David Fenner, Affiliate Lecturer, Middle East Center at the Jackson School of International Studies.

Today, no countries have open borders. Every state in today’s global system has its own laws and policies about who is permitted to cross its borders, and how they will do so. Who determines whether someone is a refugee or a migrant? How have different countries, including the United States, reacted to migration? How effective are the international laws, policies, and organizations that have evolved to assist and protect refugees and migrants?

Island Theatre will present a staged play reading of the psychological thriller “Dead Certain” by Marcus Lloyd at the Bainbridge Public Library at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Performances are free, with donations welcome.

In this intricately plotted thriller, Michael, an out-of-work actor, is hired by Elizabeth to read a play she has written. When they begin the script, Michael is startled to find disturbing similarities to his real life. As suspense builds, truth and illusion become inseparably entangled, hurtling the characters — and the audience — to a gripping and shocking climax.

“Dead Certain” is directed by Tell Schreiber and features Heaslip and Matt Howe as Michael and Elizabeth.

The performances are partially sponsored by the city of Bainbridge Island and the Bainbridge Community Foundation, and by individual donations.

The play is recommended for those high school age and up.

Also on Sunday, Eagle Harbor Book Company boasts a doubleheader of literary happenings on tap.

First, from 3 to 4 p.m., it’s the island stop of the YA Survival Tour: Three Young Adult fiction authors, five cities, countless fans.

Join Mary Cronk Farrell, Maureen McQuerry, and Stephen Wallenfels for an afternoon of stories about resilience, courage, adversity, and triumph. The authors will meet with readers and sign books.

Then, at 4 p.m., noted ecologist Robert Michael Pyle, author of “Wintergreen” and “Where Bigfoot Walks,” will return to the shop to read from and discuss his latest release, his first and long-awaited novel, “Magdalena Mountain.”

In it, the award-winning naturalist proves he is as at home in an imagined landscape as he is in the natural one.

At the center of this story of majesty and high mountain magic are three Magdalenas: Mary, a woman whose uncertain journey opens the book; Magdalena Mountain, shrouded in mystery and menace; and the all-black Magdalena alpine butterfly, the most elusive of several rare and beautiful species found on the mountain.

And high in the Colorado Rocky Mountain wilderness, sharing the remote territory of the butterfly, lives the enigmatic Oberon, a reluctant de facto leader of the Grove, a diverse community of monks who share a devotion to nature.

Converging in that same wilderness are October Carson, a beachcomber-wanderer in pursuit of the alpine butterflies he collects for museums; James Mead, a young graduate student intent upon learning the ecology of this seductive creature; and Mary Glanville, who also seeks the butterfly but can’t remember why.

While the mystery surrounding Mary takes a menacing turn, their shared quest pulls them deeper into the high mountain wilderness, culminating in a harrowing encounter on the stony slopes of Magdalena Mountain.
