Signup now at the library for Meredith’s Paper Marbling class.
Paper marbling is a decorative art where colorful patterns are created by floating paints or inks on a liquid surface (like water) and then transferring the design to paper. It’s like creating unique, swirly, stone-like patterns on paper by manipulating paints on a liquid canvas.

Frisbee golf kit
COMING SOON!
Graceville has so much to offer for a small town including the recently added Toqua Park Disc Golf Course. Understandably, not everyone has access to the proper discs that are required to play frisbee golf, aka, ‘frolfing’. However, we’re going to change that! We want everyone to experience the fun of frisbee golf! In a week or two, you’ll be able to enjoy a 2 week check out period for a frisbee golf kit from your library! See you soon!
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.
