The Library's Fall Food Drive runs all November!
Now that we're fine-free, you may be wondering about the Library's annual food drive, which was in the past tied to our November fine-forgiveness event.
We are indeed hosting a Fall Food Drive this November,
with the goal of filling a shopping cart--multiple times, ideally!--with non-perishable goods. These donations will benefit the Northland Assistance Center, a local non-profit that advocates for the hungry, needy and politically under-represented members of our global family. This year's drive runs all November, and there's no limit to the number of times, or items, that you can donate. So bring your non-perishable goods to do some good, and help us fight hunger in the Northland this year! >>
And coming your way next month: Easy-peasy automatic renewals!
Here's one we think you'll like--and just in time for the holidays! Starting December 2, you'll no longer need to log in (or call or stop by) to renew your library materials. Instead, your items will automatically renew just before they're due. It's library magic! Also a feature of an upcoming system upgrade. :) Some items that
won't
auto-renew include ILL materials, Museum at Prairiefire passes, items with holds, and items that have already been renewed twice. Questions? Ask a staffer!

Sew Fun! MYO Puff Quilt Pillow Frame

thurs nov 14 @ 6:30 pm
Are you familiar with puffed quilts? They're made using a technique whereby you sew and stuff individual squares, which you then stitch together to make a quilt, of sorts--could be small (pillow-sized) or large (like a bed quilt). (Look up 'puffed quilts' on Pinterest if you haven't seen one before!) In this class, we'll make a small version of one of these, which you can use to make a pillow cover. Supplies (not including a pillow form) are provided. With instructor Patty Ibarra.
