KM Lion's Club Donate Money for Children's Books

The KM Lion's Club graciously donated $500 to the Kasson Public Library for the purchase of children's books.
Children's Librarian Ingvild Herfindahl was
excited to look for children's titles that would enhance the children's collection. Ingvild has purchased 75 new books that the children are currently enjoying.


The KM Lions Club donated money to the Kasson Library children's area for the second year in a row. Last year the library purchased a small table and 8 chairs for the children to do crafts, read books or put puzzles together.

Without the generosity of service groups, library patron etc. the library would not be able to provide all of the services needed for the KM Library service area. A Huge Thank You to all that have helped us in the past years.

Groundhog Storytime Week of Feb 1-3

News Flash-Yeah!!! Punxsutawney Phil 2011 prediction is for early spring he did not see his shadow.

This week theme was Groundhog's Day. Children's Librarian read wonderful stories about groundhogs and made a special puppet to look like Punxsutawney Phil . Our version of Phil was created by Children's Librarian Ingvild and she introduced him to the children.the children. One child was SURPRISED (he did not want to touch the puppet, no matter what was said to the contrary) to see a critter come out of the cup. The children made their own groundhog and pushed the groundhog up to see if today was sunny or cloudy. Additional pictures may be viewed at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kassonlibrary/
