December is here!

December is here, bringing snow, cold and the holiday season. At the Fosston Community Library Arts Center. December will bring several fun events.

On Sunday, Dec. 15, there will be music in the air as Dwana Carroll’s piano students present their Christmas recital at 2 p.m. Admission is free and I’m sure there will be refreshments.

A new exhibit will go up in the gallery on Friday, December 13, featuring ceramic sculpture artist Hana Bibliowicz of the Twin Cities. Bibliowicz was born in Columbia to Polish and Mexican Jewish parents. She obtained her bachelor’s degree from Albany State University and her master’s in sculpture from San Francisco State. She has participated in numerous shows, both in Colombia and the United States. There will be a reception that evening, and she will be teaching a class on Saturday, the 14^th. Watch for more details.

The library will be offering Kids’ Club activities every Wednesday from 3:30-5 p.m., with a special cookie decorating session on Dec. 11. Children under the age of eight are required to have a teen or adult supervisor with them.

The library book club will meet Tuesday, December 10, at 7 p.m. to discuss the book No Place I’d Rather Be by Cathy Lamb. I haven’t had a chance to read it yet, but the discussions are always interesting and the refreshments tasty.

The library will be closed on both December 24 and 25 for Christmas but will resume normal hours on Thursday, December 26. It will close at 5 p.m. on New Year’s Eve and will also be closed on New Year’s Day.

Writers’ group will not meet during December, but will resume its normal schedule (7:30 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of each month) in January.

In closing, I will leave you with the little poem I wrote for our last writers’ group session:

                 Thanks

For turkey and taters and red ripe tomatoes

For hard candy, hamburger hot dish and ham,

For apples and apricots, artichokes too

For nachos and nuts and Nutella, yum, yum

For kiwis and KitKats and ketchup in bottles.

Salads and sausages, seafood and scones.

Thank you for all these wonderful foods

Only a few that my diet includes.
