Can it be October?

October is upon us, the month of bright blue weather, colorful leaves, and Halloween. The big news at the Fosston Community Library Arts Center is a concert by singer/songwriter Dan Rodriguez on Saturday, October 16, at 7 p.m. Originally from Michigan, Rodriguez now lives in Minneapolis with his wife and two sons, who are named Oak and Alder. His music has been featured in various ads and commercials, including the Explore Minnesota Tourism ad campaign, which used his song, “You Feel Like Home.” Tickets for the performance are available at Nord’s Drug as well as online at fclaa.org The month of October at the library will feature a chance to play blackout poetry, a form of “found poetry” where the writer selects words from a newspaper, book, or other printed text, adds a few additional words and then blacks out all the rest. Stop by the library and be given some book pages. Then bring your finished poetry to the library by the end of October to be displayed. Sounds like fun! The library book club will meet Tuesday, October 12, at 7 p.m. This month’s book is The Lost and Found Bookshop by Susan Wiggs. I haven’t read it yet, but it looks like a good one. Kids’ club is continuing to meet Wednesdays at 3:30 with different activities in rotation – Legos, crafts, games, and bingo. The fun continues until 5:00 p.m. For the younger children and their caregivers, preschool story time is scheduled for each Friday at 10:30 a.m. It’s a great way to introduce your child to the library. Looking ahead to November, the biannual Daisy Hagen Auction for the Arts is scheduled for Sunday, November 28 with Lynda Lohmeier as the auctioneer. Cochairs Sarah Steinbrenner and Carrie Carlin have already been busy gathering up items to be offered. One last reminder: The library will be closed Monday, Oct. 11, for staff training.
