January is coming

Cold temperatures, snow, ice – it’s winter, and it’s almost January. If you are looking for something to take your mind off the weather, look no further than the Fosston Community Library Arts Center, where you will find some enjoyable activities as well as a wide variety of reading materials, CDs and DVDs.

Book Club will meet on Tuesday, January 9, at 7 p.m. This month’s selection is The Paris Wife, a novel based on the story of Ernest Hemmingway and his wife Hadley. There most likely be coffee and some sort of goodies as well as an interesting discussion.

Writers’ group will meet Thursday, January 25, at 7:30 p.m. If your New Year’s resolutions include finally getting those memoirs written, coming to this group might just give you the motivation you need.

The FCLAA annual meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 10, at 7 p.m. All members are welcome, and if you’re not a member, you are welcome to come and find out what it’s all about.

I’m certain you will want to be reading some books on these frigid winter nights, so you might as well sign up for the Book Blizzard, the adult winter reading program, to have a chance to win some cool prizes as well. Stop by the library and sign up. There will be drawings held every week through the month of February.

While you are in the library to pick up your books, be sure to look at the new display in the gallery, rosemaling by Jane Bellefy, from Shevlin. It should be up by January 9th.

For the younger set, preschool storytime is held every Friday morning at 10:30 a.m., and family fun time Wednesdays at 3:30 p.m.

Just a reminder – the library will be closed on Monday, January 15, in observance of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.
