Happy New Year!


Happy 2019! Once again I am absolutely dumbfounded by what year it is. Wasn’t it just a couple of years ago that everyone was fretting about Y2K? At any rate, it’s definitely winter with a possible blizzard in the forecast.

At the Fosston Library, there will be a blizzard all through January and February, a Book Blizzard, that is. You may sign up for the reading program for adults either at larl.org or by coming into the library. Track your reading or complete some other reading challenges for a chance to win prizes.

The Fosston Community Library Arts Association and its board of directors oversees the theater, gallery and music programs that take place at the art center. If you are interested in learning more about the FCLAA, the group will be having its annual meeting on Wednesday, January 9, at 7 p.m. in the Sorenson Gallery. Everyone is welcome.

Perhaps by then the Metal Heads exhibit will be on display. Local metalworkers Jeff Olson, Tony Roed, Jeff Halland and Ryan Stewart will all have items in the show.

The library book club will meet Tuesday, January 8, at 7 p.m. to discuss the book A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. The local curmudgeon finds his life changing when a new family moves in next door. Join us for an informal discussion of the book, coffee and some treats.

On Tuesday, January 22, adult coloring club will meet at 7 p.m. If you got some new markers or colored pencils for Christmas, bring them along; if you didn’t, supplies will be provided.

Also on Tuesday, January 22, at 7:30 p.m. writers’ group will meet. If you’ve been meaning to write your memoirs, or if you just want to try something new, here’s your chance. You may bring a work in progress to share or just come and listen.

In case you didn’t know, the library offers wireless printing. You can send your documents to the library’s printers from anywhere using your phone, tablet or computer. Visit larl.org/wirelessprinting for more information or stop by and ask your friendly librarians.

The library will be closed on Monday, January 21, for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
