January

A new month and a new year – January 2024. While no one knows what the coming year will bring, there is always something new at the Aurora Center for the Arts and the Fosston Library. If one of your New Years resolutions has to do with getting more organized, the library has just the thing for you. On Thursday, January 11 at 7 p.m., there will be a virtual organizing workshop with Minnesota author Jessica Litman, who wrote Home Sweet Organized Home No registration is required. Just go to larl.org/organization. No worries if that’s a bad time for you, a recording will be available until February 8. If you are resolving to read more books in 2024, you may as well join Book Blizzard, the library’s winter reading adventure, for a shot at some cozy prizes. Complete a reading log for every four books you read (or listen to) from January 2 to February 29 to be entered into the prize drawing. Forms are available at the library or online at larl.org/bookblizzard. The library book club continues to provide two options to attend: Tuesday, Jan. 9, at 7 p.m. and Tuesday, Jan.16, at 2 p.m. Both groups will be discussing the book, The Kindest Lie by Nancy Johnson. If you need a copy of the book, check with the library. Bingo for the kids, always a popular activity, is scheduled for Wednesday, January 17, at 3:30 p.m. Everyone hopes for a prize. Works by Cindy Kolling of Gully are scheduled to be displayed at the Sorensen Gallery mid-January through February. The exhibit is entitled “It’s Not Nothing… and Those Aren’t Weeds.” It sounds interesting. The Aurora Center for the Arts will be holding its annual meeting in February this year. Watch for more information next month. And a reminder – the library will be closed Monday, January 15, in observance of Martin Luther King Day.
