Meet our new(ly designated) story room and study space. Formerly a seldom-used small meeting room, the story room has been re-envisioned as a fun place to relax and play or buckle down and study–your choice!
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.
Thanks to everyone who came out to the talk about Australia and New Zealand.

We had a lot of fun. Don’t forget to register for Hot Reads for Cold Night. Win cool prizes!
All other days, we will be open our regular hours.
I want to say thank you to the fantastic staff of the Lonsdale Public Library (Susan, Darlene, Ali and special guest star Penny) for doing a bang-up job while I was “down under” in Australia and New Zealand. I did many interesting things, but my favorite was my visit to Hobbiton. All you Lord of the Rings fans should recognize whose house I am standing in front of here.
It’s great to be back! We are planning some fun things at the library this winter and spring, so stay tuned.

Read for the Win is finished. It’s sad to see it go, but we all have lots to be proud of. We had 311 kids sign up and 92 finish all five levels. That’s thousands of reading hours! We offered 12 events that were attended by 592 people. Thanks again to all of the kids and young adults who participated, the parents and caregivers, and particularly the volunteers!

Minnesotans who do not have a high school diploma can take the GED tests for free until the end of June. The Minnesota Department of Education has a website with more information on the tests and how to prepare. For more help getting ready, visit the High School Equivalency Center, available through the Electronic Library for Minnesota.
Due to the blizzard conditions, the library will be closed today, Tuesday, February 1st. The board game event planned for tonight will be rescheduled. There will be no story time tonight or Friday of this week. Stay home and stay safe!
