Come for a good discussion and refreshments.
Wednesday afternoons from 3 – 4:30 youth ages 6 – 12 are welcome to come and enjoy learning and discovering a variety of STEAM activities. Each week will focus on a different project varying from cooking to engineering to building.
Storytime meets on Thursdays at 10:30 am beginning Thursday, September 12. Anyone with young children is welcome to bring their children for about thirty minutes of stories, rhymes and more about families. After storytime, the library provides a variety of early learning toys to encourage discovery and hands-on learning for another thirty minutes. Make Thursday mornings from 10:30 -11:30 library time and help your kids discover how wonderful books, learning and reading can be.
Saturday, September 14th from 10:30 – noon, the library is pleased to present Autumn Landscape painting with 321 Art Studio. Adults and older teens of all art skill levels from beginner to advanced will enjoy spending time with other artists while learning to draw and paint from teaching artist Amy Lucas-Peroceski. Each participant will draw their landscape on an 11 x 14 canvas with the instructor and then paint their landscape with water-miscible oil paints in their choice of colors. This hour-and-a-half program is free with all supplies provided! This program, sponsored by Arrowhead Library System, was funded in part or in whole with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
Monday, September 23 from 5 – 7 pm the Friends of the Library will hold their monthly sale. All sales by donation with proceeds benefiting the Friends support of library programming.
Then at 6:30 pm on Monday, September 23rd, the library with the Arrowhead Library System is pleased to present COMPAS Teaching Artists Siama’s Congo Roots, a free program being offered for all ages. When COMPAS Teaching Artist Siama Matuzungidi is joined by Dallas Johnson, their harmonies are inspiring, and their joy is contagious as they perform and inspire everyone to sing along. Siama and Dallas tell stories of life in Africa and encourage everyone to use their imagination to transport them to DR Congo. This sunny and joyful performance will leave everyone feeling energized and happy. This program, sponsored by Arrowhead Library System, was funded in part or in whole with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund (ACHF) and by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the ACHF.
