Spring is springing out all over!  We’ve been growing seeds at the library.  Miss Susan planted a sunflower, a pea and a lima bean.

Day one:   All quiet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day six:  Starting to sprout.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day eight:  Check out those shoots!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day 10:  Look at that sunflower reaching for the sky!

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you want to plant some seeds of your own, join us April 16 or 19 for a spring story time.

Living the Dream: Historic Homes of Minnesota by Doug Ohman

Lonsdale Public Library meeting room
Tuesday, March 14, 2017 at 6:30 pm

Freelance photographer and public speaker Doug Ohman will be at Lonsdale Public Library on Tuesday, March 14 at 6:30 pm. Doug’s work has been widely published in magazines, calendars and books, and in the popular book series, Minnesota Byways.

Take a tour of Minnesota’s most elegant homes. Hear the stories and personalities that surround many of these historic treasures. You’ve heard the expression, “If walls could talk” and in this photo presentation, it’s as if they do! Doug will also tell his own story about how he took his passion for history and love of photography and combined them into a successful career.

The talk is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. Doug will have copies of his books for sale at the event.

Doug has degrees in both Geography and History from the University of Minnesota. Before becoming a full time photographer, he was the Operations Manager at the Mall of America.  He currently lives in New Hope, MN with his wife of over 30 years, Krin.
