The Rose Ensemble: The Last Queen of Hawai’i
Posted By merickson on July 28, 2010
Our last summer program for elementary aged children took place on Tuesday, July 27, 2010 when we enjoyed the exquisite talent of the Internationally renowned Rose Ensemble! Their educational and entertaining program “The Last Queen of Hawai’i” brought to life the incredibly varied music and dance traditions of the islands through beautiful voice, ukulele, gourd drums, and hula.
We owe this exciting trip down the path of Hawaiian culture through centuries of music, movement, and storytelling to funding received from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage fund. This fund is the result of the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008 which dedicated funds to preserve Minnesota’s arts and cultural heritage.

Don’t forget … there is still one more summer storytime on this Friday, July 30th at 9:30am.

An eagle in the Library!
Posted By merickson on July 19, 2010
Our Elementary Program for Tuesday, July 20th featured Harriet (a bald eagle) and her handler from the National Eagle Center. It was a fascinating presentation! Did you know that an eagle can exert up to 400 lbs. pressure with each of its talons? Did you know that it can dive for prey at 100 miles an hour? We learned these and so many other incredibly interesting things about our beautiful and amazing national bird!
We thank the Chosen Valley Community Foundation for making this program possible through a generous grant.
