Paint with Thread
In this guided introduction to Stitch Hoop Embroidery, students will stretch a cotton cloth onto a hoop and then use needle-point embroidery threads to create a scene depicting a bouquet of wildflowers set against a black background. The flowers will be rendered in vivid colors, creating a striking, high-contrast piece of wall art. The class will be held on Tuesday, June 24th at 5:30 pm in the community building in Graceville. This class has been paid for by MN Legacy Funding and is at no cost to you. Ages 12 and up may sign-up at the library or by calling 748-7332. Seating is limited.
1000 Books Before Kindergarten
Another amazing program that needs mentioning again is 1000 Books Before Kindergarten. This is free to children from birth to preschool. Sign your child(ren) up at the library and they will receive a bag with a folder which includes information, instructions, and a log sheet for the books read. There are incentives for every 100 books read when the log sheets are brought back to the library. Once they reach 1000, they are rewarded with big prizes, a picture on the 1000 BBK wall, in the newspaper, and on Facebook. Sign your kids up today!
