@ Your Library
The library lobby is currently full of quilts. They warm up the lobby very nicely as we begin our season of snow and ice. Stop by and take a look before the end of the year. One of the quilts has been donated to the library and will be moved to the meeting room for permanent display. It was created as a fundraiser several years ago and won by Beryl Moxness, who served the library for 37 years and won the Minnesota Trustee of the Year award in 1983. If you helped create this quilt or know someone who did, we’d love to have you stop by the library and let us know.
As the holiday season speeds up with many activities, many chances to celebrate and enjoy friends and family don’t forget to settle in with a good book occasionally to relax and discover the quiet of the season as well.
