Thank You!

I’m deeply sorry that I’m delayed in expressing my thanks to everyone that was involved in with the Graceville Friends of the Library Walking Taco fundraiser on Friday, May 1st.
I would like to start by thanking our Friends for their continued dedication to the library and for all their hard work in making the fundraiser a success.  Without them, the library would struggle. So again, thank you to the Friends! I would also like to say a big thank you to the Big Stone ADA for their donation toward ice cream and cheese, and to Thrivent for donating $250 for other food and supplies. Additionally, thank you to Ag County for donating plates, cups, and silverware, and to Christy Puetz for donating her time and supplies to make crafts with the kids. Thank you to all that attended. We hope you enjoyed the meal and the evening. I’m also excited to announce that there are new memebers the the Friends of the Library. Welcome! We are so very happy you’ve joined an important group dedicated to supporting and advocating for your library.
Sidenote…
Sadly, I was in a rush and didn’t proofread my article in which I thanked those mentioned above, before sending it to the Northern Star. Not only was it a grammatical disaster, but I also mentioned that Ag County donated silver, which they did not. I’m hopeful that most if not all caught on that it was silverware. I’m pretty sure if anyone at Ag County caught on to that, they might have had a bit of a chuckle. Again, sorry from your librarian. 🫣🙃

Frisbee Golf Kit

It’s back and ready to be checked out!
Graceville has so much to offer for a small town including the Toqua Park Disc Golf Course. Understandably, not everyone has access to the proper discs that are required to play frisbee golf, also known as ‘frolfing’, or do not want to invest in purchasing the varying disc’s to play the game. We’d like everyone to experience the fun of frisbee golf! As long as you have a library card with us, you may check out the frisbee golf kit for two weeks. Included in the kit is 2 drivers, 2 mid-drivers, 2 putters, informational sheet on frisbee use (w/website), and a helpful guide sheet on the 6 forehand frisbee grips. Time to get out, have some fun and get some exercise!

Sign up for Northern Lights Painting Class

There are openings for Meredith’s Northern Lights Painting class Thursday, April 23rd starting at 5:30 pm. You may register now for all classes listed in the flyer. Please take the opportunity to participate in one or all of these classes. Classes with both Meredith and Christy foster a positive and energetic atmosphere. SUPER FUN! Participation in MN Legacy library programs ensures the continued accessibility of community arts, reinforcing our commitment to providing high-quality cultural experiences at no cost to patrons. It would be devastating to loose the funding we receive from MN Legacy.
