LEARN Children's Art Show

Our Besore children, the Book Buggy, and Executive Director Bernice Crouse participated in the LEARN Art Show at First Lutheran Church today. We had some beautiful artwork on exhibit from the preschoolers at Besore Memorial Library. Crouse demonstrated painting a seascape with acrylics for families present and helped children experiment with painting on large sheets of paper. Other LEARN partners led other arts and crafts activities and storytimes were held with Leo Lionni's A Color of His Own.

Thank you Land o' Lakes Foundation for sponsoring FCLS's "Arts in Literature" program and materials over the last year.

Planning Moves Ahead

Monday, library leaders meet to review your input and start the planning process. We will soon know who the Nook winner is. It is no surprise to learn that library users want their hours back, and we are working to make that happen by January 1.

We are working with Tweed-Weber on the planning process. More to come...
