Dennis Weidemann – This Water Goes North
February 28th, 2009 at 2:00 PM
In the summer of 1979, Dennis and three friends canoed their way from Fergus Falls, MN to Hudson Bay, a journey of 1400 miles. They had leaky tents, very little experience, and old canoes and the trip took more than two months.
Come hear Dennis talk about his experience, complete with a stunning slide show. He will also have copies of his book to sell and sign for those who are interested.

Celebrate Dr. Seuss’ Birthday!
March 7th, 2009 at 3:00 PM
“No, No, Sam I am. I do not like Green Eggs and Ham!” Everyone knows that famous line from a very famous book. Dr. Seuss’ birthday is March 2nd so join us in our celebration of this fantastic children’s author! We will have several Pipestone “Celebrities” reading Dr. Seuss books (including the Mayor and the Sherriff), special coloring activities, and, of course, we will have treats. Come one, come all, and enjoy some of your favorite books!

Bruce Weigel – Native American Flute and Story-telling
March 14th, 2009 at 2:00 PM
Bruce is a local flute player and looks forward to sharing his music and stories at the library. Self-taught and inspired by nature, he uses his music to inspire peace and a sense of connectedness to those listening. He spends time at the Pipestone National Monument nearly every day and enjoys teaching classes on flute-playing, making dream-catchers, and meditation.

And keep this in the back of your mind for something to do in April: The Plum Creek Library System owns a Wii and Meinders Library has reserved it for the middle two weeks in April. We will be hosting a few gaming nights for kids, teens, and adults during those weeks. Dates will be publicized later, so keep watching!

Just as a reminder, if you know a book has come out, but you don’t see it on our shelves, let us know! We can get it for you through interlibrary loan, or we can place a Hold for you so you’ll be on the list. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Meinders Community Library is open Monday – Thursday from 10 AM to 8 PM, and Friday and Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM. If you want to place one of these books on hold, please don’t hesitate to call us at 825-6714.
