January brings a new year and winter days with snow and cold - no better time to curl up by the fireplace with a good book. With the Hot Reads for Cold Nights adult reading program sponsored by the Fosston Library, that reading might result in your winning a prize. I know that sounds too good to be true, but just stop by the library and pick up an entry blank, read or listen to four books and be entered into the drawing. E-books also count, as do audio books. Every four books you read give you another chance at some great prizes.
Make one of those books Michael Frickstad’s The Storyteller and come to the Books & BonBons book club on Tuesday, January 8. We’ll talk about the book, and maybe a few other things as well, and enjoy some kind of yummy dessert provided by Tammi. The group meets at 7 p.m., and you don’t have to say anything if you’re too shy.
After taking a break in December, the writers’ group will resume meeting on Thursday, January 24, at 7:30 p.m. If you are interested in doing some writing but haven’t gotten started, this just might be the motivation you’re looking for. If you already are writing, we’d love to hear what you’re doing. Come and see what it’s all about - no costs or obligations.
The Fosston Community Library Arts Association will hold its annual meeting on Wednesday, January 9, at 7 p.m. Any member is welcome to attend, so you may want to come and get the inside scoop on all the things the organization does. If you’re not a member, you should be, and you’re welcome to join.
If you received an e-reader for Christmas, you should be aware that LARL has library e-books available for download. Go to digital.larl.org or ask your friendly Fosston librarians for assistance.
If you‘re new to computers, the library can help you there too, with basic computer training available the second and fourth Mondays at 11 a.m. Call 435-1320 to register or for more information.
Just a reminder - the library will be closed on Monday, January 21, in observance of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.
