People could be outside enjoying an unseasonably warm Janu3ry rather than sitting
by a fireplace with a book.
Children's activities for February were varied. A "Read-to-Me" Club for
pre-schoolers started this month, and so far ll5 children and their parents have
registered. Two sessions of crafts for the K-3 age group were held, and fifty
children made wound-twine planters (complete with two beans for planting), thumb-
print pictures, coin purses, key chains, and other miscellaneous crafts. Tiny
Tots story hour for 2½ to 3~year-olds, which has been extended to March 5, was
split into two half-hour sessions because of high enrollment. Twenty-six
children enjoyed a Little Rascals Film Festival on February 19.

for the choco-apple cupcakes they made for the February senior citizens pregram.
Those in attendance viewed two movies: Islands of contrast, a travelogue, and
The styles that made a splash, Sears-Roebuck's ~!ocumentary on the evolution of
the female bathing suit. Miss Etta Goeman-Pott, local retired home economics
teacher, told the qroup that she had had suits like those in the film and that
they are now in the clothing collection of the Minnesota Historical Society.
Bob Murray, Community Education Coordinator, and Becky met to set up the
spring schedule of classes to be held at the library. The new Recreation/
Community Education brochure may be picked up at Nurzyn Hall if you did not
receive one in the mail.
The phone at the main circulation desk was replaced this month after it
hit the floor one time too many. Hopefully, a net, system will be installed
before the end of March when the telephone company's installation rates go up.
Larry Pogemiller, state representative for this district, will be holding
office hours in the library's green room on February 21, March 21, and April
25 from ll a.m. to 12 noon. He wants to make himself available to meet residents
of Columbia Heights and to hear about their concerns and feelings on issues. No
appointments are necessary.
The library's annual report is complete and is available for any interested
people to read at the library.
