January 2020
January 2020 – how’s that? White and snowy for sure.
It’s perfect weather for curling up with a good book, so you might as well join
the Fosston Library’s Book Blizzard winter reading adventure, and you just
might win a prize. Complete a reading log, available at the library, and every
four books you read or listen to will put you in contention. You may also sign
up online at larl.org/bookblizzard.
If you would like to know more about the Fosston
Community Library Arts Association, here’s an opportunity for you. The FCLAA will be holding its annual meeting
on Wednesday, Jan. 8, at 7 p.m. The 2020 board of directors will be elected,
and annual reports will be available. The public is invited to attend.
The library book club will meet Tuesday, Jan. 14, at 7
p.m. January’s book is After Anna by Lisa Scottoline. When Anna moves in
with her mother and stepfather after years apart, things go terribly wrong. I
have just gotten started reading this thriller and I can’t predict the ending,
but it is holding my attention. We also get treats.
Kids’ Club will continue to meet on Wednesdays from
3:30-5 p.m. There will be crafts, Legos, games and bingo on a rotating basis.
Children under the age of eight must be accompanied by an adult or older
caregiver.
Writers’ group will meet Tuesday, January 28, at 7:30
p.m. If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to write that memoir, this might
give you the motivation to get started on it. Bring a sample of your writing to
share, or feel free to just come and listen. We are a pretty easy-going group.
Remember that the library is closed on Monday, January
20, for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. If you are in dire need of something to
read, the digital library is available on-line 24-7. You may ask your local librarian
for help with that.
