HOT READS FOR COLD NIGHTS

The Friends of the Kasson Library are sponsoring programs aimed at those who want to hear information on different topics one night each month during the winter. They had the first of three programs last night at the library.

ANTARCTICA -MY DREAM

Sybel Haugen, a local residents and former teacher in the K-M school district, gave a presentation of her trip to Antarctica two years ago. When asked why she chose to go to such a cold and uninviting continent she stated that in third grade her teacher received a globe as a prize. She showed the globe to the students and Sybel was fascinated about all the countries in the world but especially Antarctica. She stated that one day she was going to visit Antarctica. Sybel said her trip lived up to all her expectations and more.

There were about 20 people braved the cold night to hear information about Antarctica. One person present said he was glad he came as he learned a lot more about this continent. There was a drawing and five happy people left with souvenirs of penguins and tickets to the Eagle Center in Wabasha.

Our next Hot Reads For Cold Nights program will be about Jesse James and the Wild West on Thursday, February 28 at 6pm in the library. Minnesota Author John James Koblas ,who is an expert on the outlaw genre and has written many books and short stories on the topic, will be at the library to talk about the outlaw Jesse James. Mr Koblas will also have his books available for sale. If you like western literature plan on attending this great program.
