Discovering Plants with Minnesota Roots – April 28th

April 22, 2018 By Cassie

Saturday, April 28th @ 1 pm

Some plants just shout that they are from the North—conifers draped in snow (even in April!), grasses that remind us of the prairie, tall oaks from the big woods. But what about peonies, gladiolus, apples, and cantaloupe? These, too, are plants with Minnesota roots, according to Mary Lahr Schier, author of the new book The Northern Gardener: From Apples to Zinnias, 150 Years of Garden Wisdom (Minnesota Historical Society Press, 2017).

Schier will introduce local gardeners (or history buffs) to the people and plants that made horticulture in Minnesota. Her talk will feature dozens of images and a handout of heritage plants to include in your own northern garden.

June’s Pick – Lumberjanes by Noelle Stevenson

June 22, 2017 By Cassie

June’s Readers’ Advisory Pick is:

Lumberjanes series by Noelle Stevenson

Jo, April, Mal, Molly, and Ripley are not normal girls and Miss Qiunzilla Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumet’s Camp for hardcore lady-types is not a normal camp.  Between the campfire story-telling and friendship bracelet-making, the girls find time to explore mysterious caves, fight three-eyed critters and investigate the sightings of the mysterious Bear Woman.  It is like the Goonies and Indiana Jones all rolled into a delightful comic series for the whole family.
If you are looking to dip your toes into the wild world of comics or are looking for a rip-roaring romp for the hardcore lady-type in your life this is a wonderful place to start.

– Cassie Rauk, Library Board Member
