Seniors at Prairie Meadows Going Green

Seniors at Prairie Meadows came to Kasson Library's monthly Reminisce program and all were Irish if only just for a little while!




Seniors that attended Library Director Bonnie Adams' St. Paddy's Day celebration wore Shamrocks and heard Irish toasts and blessing. They especially enjoyed the Irish jokes.

Kasson Library and the Friends of the Library have two monthly Books On Wheels outreach programs at Prairie Meadows Senior Living. The first Thursday of each month two families and their young children take part in a Intergenerational Storytime. The third Thursday of each month Arlene Wallin and Director Adams' visit the seniors and talk about seasonal themes and what they remember about their past. Both programs are eagerly anticipated by the seniors and the families with young children.

Kasson Library Book Drop

Our book drop was vandalized this week after less than one month in operation! A community of people came together for over a four month time to help fund and work on this project. All are deeply saddened and disappointed in this act of senseless vandalism.

A book drop has always been a goal, of the Kasson Library and the Friends of the Library, to have for the convenience of the library patrons. On Tuesday morning Library Director Adams discovered that someone had repeatedly kicked the book drop enough to cause the front to be damaged so that it had to be repaired.

Due to this vandalism our book drop is currently out of order for repairs. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause! :(
