Olde Fashion Christmas at the Library

There were many activities at the library during the Olde Fashion Christmas on Main Street Kasson last Saturday. We had some great volunteers to help us with the activities. Children could chose to listen to stories , write a letter to Santa, create Christmas cards, or color some holiday pictures. There were many chances for prizes for both children and adults. Some of the prizes were wreaths, books, memory card games, stuffed animals. Everyone who attended had a great time as did the staff and volunteers.


Library employees Donna Kirchgatter and Bonnie Adams could not have done this alone we had excellent help. Volunteers Pat Coy read stories, Pastor Clint Patterson help with registration, Mary Schilling worked with children to create cards. Library employee Paula Talbert was not present, due to a broken leg, designed the wreaths for the drawing.

Internet Radio Site

This is even better than Pandora radio. This web radio has the best sub-groups. My favorite is the oldies with sub group
1953-63.

AccuRadio is an Internet radio site definitely worth visiting. They not only have a wide variety of channels for rock, pop, jazz, classical, country, oldies, Latin, world music and more, but each channel is broken into even more specific channels. Even when you are listening to a channel, you can customize it and de-select artists you don't want to listen to. This is one of the most intuitive and fun interfaces I have seen in awhile.

Santa Hats and our Storytime

Today at our Wednesday Storytime, a mom brought her two girls dressed for the holiday season.

Friends Book Sale

Hannah and her mom stopped by the book sale this morning and took time deciding just what special books they would buy.

Sybel and Kristi were there to bag the books and collect the money. The library is very fortunate to have a dedicated and active Friends group that helps with our library programs. All of the library staff would like to thank the Friends group for all of
their support this past year,
without them we could not do all of the programs that the children and adults participate look forward to.
