LIBRARY MUSINGS: Books and fun for the holidays
By Grand Forks and District Public Library
Hi Grand Folks!
I have good news – we’ve added some new DVDs to our collection! A very generous patron donated some money, and we were able to purchase a bunch of movies. Which brings me to my next point – if any of you have any DVDs lying around that you’d want to share with others, please consider donating them to the library.

And here’s the latest on what’s going on at the library this month:
- Just a reminder that there will be no bookclub in December – we’ve moved “A Fatal Grace” to June, and January’s book will be arriving later this month.
- Fabulous Friday will be happening on Dec. 14 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. – come to the library for a family fun afternoon of boardgames, crafts, snacks, puppets, chess, and XBox 360 Kinect!

For those of you crafty, holiday gift-makers out there, we have several new books that have just come in – books on things like screenprinting, papercrafts, stitching and embroidering. That sort of thing.

And I’ll end this week’s column by telling you about three new non-fiction books that arrived this week:
- “Money: Understand and Creating Alternatives to Legal Tender” – a perfect read for those who think Grand Forks should have its own local currency.
- “Blog Inc: Blogging for Passion, Profit, and to Create Community” – for those of you aspiring bloggers out there.
- “101 Things To Do With Apples” – ‘tis the season to eat apples! There are recipes in here for everything from ‘Butternut-Apple Soup’ to ‘Slow Cooker Apple-Cider Pot Roast’ to ‘Apple Baked Beans” and lots more.
Happy eating!
