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 14th.
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.
