With the landscape transformed into a winter wonderland by the recent snow, December is upon us, and Christmas will be here before we know it. Get into a holiday mood by attending a Christmas program at the Fosston Community Library Arts Center. On Sunday evening, December 5, at 7 p.m. Orland Aspen’s vocal students will present their Christmas recital with a variety of beautiful Yuletide tunes. The program is free, and refreshments will be served.
If you are looking ahead to the new year and are thinking you might like an opportunity to volunteer your time and talents, I have a suggestion for you. The FCLAA board will be needing four new members in January. This board supervises the various activities sponsored by the FCLAA - gallery, theater, music, and lectures, as well as helping to promote the Fosston Library. Meetings are held at 5:30 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month. If you think you might be interested, contact me (435-6710) or Keri Mireault (435-6675) for more information.
The writers’ group did not meet in November because of the Thanksgiving holiday. However, it will meet on Thursday, December 2, at 7:30 p.m. in the Sorenson Gallery. New members are welcome, so if you have an interest in writing, whether for publication or just for your own enjoyment, come and check us out.
Other December activities at the library include some special after school children’s activities at 4 p.m. Wednesdays on the 8th and the 15th. These will be led by the library’s teenaged volunteers.
The Polk County Traveling Coffee Shop will make a stop at the Fosston Library on Monday, Dec. 20, 11:30 a.m.- 12:30 p.m. Parents are invited to have a free cup of coffee, latte or cappuccino and meet Sue Thompson, Community Facilitator for Parent Community Network and Chemical Free Polk County.
If you think your children are buying you a computer for Christmas, you may want to sign up for the free basic computer training at the library. The classes are offered on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 11 a.m. Call the library (435-1320) to pre-register.
