It’s here!
You may now check out our new frisbee golf kit! The checkout period is 2 weeks. Included in the tote is 2 drivers, 2 mid-drivers, 2 putters, an informational sheet on how to use each of the frisbees and when, and a helpful guide sheet on the 6 forehand grips of the frisbees. I’ve also included a website that has a lot of helpful information and tools. HAPPY FROLFING!
Christy’s class
A class of enthusiastic learners enjoyed participating in another of Christy Puetz’s outstanding art classes. We appreciate learning new skills and the company we’re in. We’re very fortunate to have MN Legacy Funding pay for these programs for our community.
Thank you Christy and to all that attended.
Woodblock Village
You may now signup for Becky Stattleman’s Woodblock Village class that will be held Tuesday, July 8th at 5:30 in the community building.
Becky will provide a variety of different shapes and sizes of precut wood buildings so people will have the flexibility to do houses, farm buildings, churches, etc. There were also be different sizes of pine trees. You’ll paint your own little village, farm, or town using acrylic paints. She will show you painting techniques and share ideas that will help you create the perfect pieces.

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.
Buttons Wanted
If you have any old jars/bags/drawers of buttons and would consider donating them to the library, please drop them off at the front desk. Thank you!
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!
