Legacy Event
We are now taking signups for our next Legacy Art Class, Needle-Felt Animals with Meredith Semel! Available to ages 12 and up. Please call the library at (320) 748-7332 or sign up in person! Class limited to 20 participants. This activity (along with all of our Legacy art classes) is funded entirely by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, also known as the Legacy Amendment.
Easter fun with the kids
Terri will have stories to read, games to play, prizes to give away, and crafts to do either here or to take home. We will have plenty of treats too! No sign-up needed for this. Ages 5-12 are preferred, however, if an adult accompanies children 3 and 4 for stories and crafts, we welcome you to join us.

Kids St. Patrick’s Day Event Cancelled
Due to the anticipated inclement weather coming this weekend, we decided to cancel the kids St. Patrick’s Day Storytime, crafts, games, and giveaways. We never know what the weather will turn out to be, however, we feel it is in the best interest of all to make to make this decision.
We will be giving the crafts away as take-n-makes starting today. There are 20. They will be given out on a first-come-first-served basis.
The games and giveaways that were a part of this event will be used for our kids Easter event with Terri coming next month. More info on that to come soon. If you have any questions, please call Amy at 320-748-7332.
