February is here

February is here, and it seems to be coming in like a lamb. Oh, wait, isn’t that how March is supposed to go out? I don’t really know what is in store as far as the weather for the rest of the winter months, but I can tell you about a few things going on at the Aurora Center for the Arts and the Fosston Library. The Aurora Center’s annual meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, February 7, at 7 p.m. in the Sorenson Gallery with annual reports and election of officers. If you would like to know what goes on behind the scenes, you are welcome to attend. While you are there, take a look at the exhibit of Cindy Kolling’s artwork on display in the gallery. Of course, if you are not interested in coming to the meeting, the gallery is open during regular library hours. The library book club will meet on Tuesday, February 13, at 7 p.m. and on Tuesday, February 20, at 2 p.m. This month’s book is The Shadow Box by Luanne Rice. I haven’t read it yet, but I found this description of the book: “a haunting thriller about how far one wife is willing to go to expose the truth—and the lengths someone will go to stop her.” Coffee (or water) and treats will be served. Check with the library to obtain a copy of the book. The Book Blizzard winter reading program continues through the month. Reading four books will give you a chance at a prize. Reading logs are available at the library. Bingo for the kiddos will be on Wednesday, February 21, at 3:30 p.m. Everyone hopes to win a prize. Preschool story time will be Monday, February 26, at 10:30 a.m. This is a great activity for the little ones. The library will be closed on Monday, February 19, in observance of Presidents Day. If you are running out of reading material, remember that e-books are always available for download.
