March is here!
March – we think of March winds, March blizzards, and
hopefully, the beginning of spring. Whatever the weather, there are good things
going on at the Fosston Community Library Arts Center.
In the Sorenson Gallery, Jason Steinbrenner’s colorful
abstract acrylic paintings are now on display. While Jason doesn’t have much
formal training in art, unless one counts junior high art classes, he’s been
“playing with the paint” on and off for about 20 years, and the results are
enjoyable to view. He also has some
paintings on display at the 13 Towns office.
Jason is a Fosston native and has lived here nearly
his whole life, except for a couple of years in Mahnomen and his college years
at the University of Minnesota – Morris, where he majored in statistics. He
decided that while numbers were okay, he really preferred working with people. His
day jobs were at REM for several years and currently at Essentia Health in
registration. Watch for information about a meet-the- artist reception, or if
you can’t make that, be sure you stop by and view his paintings.
If you missed the quilters and crafters group held
Monday, March 5, you’ll have a chance to attend next month. On the first Monday
of each month, bring your projects, snacks and beverages. Tables and extension
cords are provided.
Book Club meets Tuesday, March 13, at 7 p.m. This
month’s book is A Piece of the World by
Christina Baker Kline. Next month we will be reading The Twelve Tribes of Hattie by Ayana Mathis. Join us for some
interesting discussion, coffee and goodies.
1,000 Books before Kindergarten special storytime will
be held Tuesday, March 20, at 6:30. For
more information about the program, go to larl.org/1000books.
Writers’ group will meet Tuesday, March 20, at 7:30
p.m. Anyone is welcome to join us. Come see what it’s all about.
If
writing isn’t your thing, how about coloring? Adult coloring club will be
meeting the fourth Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. (March 27 this time). The library will
provide coloring sheets and colored pencils.
Did you know there
are some books in the library you don’t need to check out to take home and
read? Look for the paperback read and return section. You can ask the librarian
where it is. Just grab a book from those shelves and bring it back at your
leisure – no worries about due dates.
Coming up in April:
Concert by Paul
Nye and Jeff Menton (guitar and violin) – Sunday, April 22 – 3 p.m.
