July is coming...
July is probably tied for June as my favorite month. Unfortunately, once we’re past the Fourth, it seems to be a quick downhill slide to fall, so we need to make the most of summer while it’s here. Here are some suggestions to help you do just that.
At the Fosston Library, the summer reading program for kids, Paws to Read, continues. Toddlers through teens can still sign up, read some books and attend some special programs, and be eligible for some great prizes. Programs still coming up include PAWS for balloon critters on July 9, PAWS for a quick snack with Cheryl Winkelmann on July 16, PAWS for pets with the Prairie Pet Clinic on July 23, PAWS for a plush pet picnic & sleepover on July 30, and PAWS to study tracks with staff from Itasca State Park on August 6. All programs are at 2 p.m. To clarify the details for the July 30th program, children and their stuffed animals will come for the picnic on the library lawn, but only the stuffed animals will spend the night at the library where they will have their pictures taken enjoying the sleepover. All children are expected to return home and sleep in their own beds.
Kids and adults alike are invited to enter the PAWS to read photo contest. Take a picture of your favorite pet reading or (more likely) being read to. It can be a dog or a cat, a ferret or a pet chipmunk, maybe even a goldfish, although since goldfish don’t have paws maybe you need to check with Tammi on that. You may submit a printed photo or email the digital file to Fosston@larl.org
Coming up at the Fosston Community Library Arts Center at the end of the month is something we all are waiting for: The Fosston Community Theater ‘s summer comedy production of The Money in Uncle George’s Suitcase. The play is described as “a hilarious farce of sneaking, wrestling and getting stuck in the furniture” at Uncle George’s rustic cabin as George’s family members search for a suitcase filled with money. Michelle Marx will direct. Dates and times are Thursday through Saturday, July 31-August 2 at 7 p.m. with a 3 p.m. matinee on Sunday, August 3. Advance tickets will be on sale at Generations clothing store in Fosston.
As you would expect, the library will be closed July 4 in observance of Independence Day.
