Playful Postcards Virtual Event & Surprise Virtual Art Program
We’re thrilled to announce a new session of fall classes for youth and adults in collaboration with Caledonia Public Library and Minnesota Conservatory for the Arts! This round of classes is very flexible to fit into everyone’s changing schedules.
Youth ages 7-12 will flex their creative muscles with free art kits and weekly surprise art projects in Surprise Art Program.
Youth & adults ages 13+ can join in for a completely self-paced guided Houston County: Playful Postcards class.
All participants will receive access to a series of short yoga classes for youth and adults from Mainspring.
All of these programs are FREE — but registration is required. Please follow the event links for registration and more info!
This project is made possible with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund and the people of Minnesota for Library Legacy activities.

Fine Free!
Good news! As of January 1st, all five of the Houston County Public Libraries eliminated fines on overdue children’s books and audio-books! (Fees will still apply to kid’s DVDs, adult materials, and lost or damaged materials.) We hope to encourage a love of reading without fear of fines! Have questions? Ask them below or give us a call!
Meet Libby
Meet Libby, a new app built with 💕 for readers to discover and enjoy eBooks and audiobooks from your library. Inspired by user and library feedback, Libby was designed to get people reading as quickly and seamlessly as possible.
Now, readers are just one tap away from unlocking the power of the written word from the public library. All you need is a library card to get started.
