]]> Join us on Wednesday, July 28 at 2 p.m. outside Moorhead Library for ChalkFEST 2010!

ChalkFEST 2010 is a celebration of the Arts for the whole family! Come and watch Art in action as local artists create sidewalk murals. Then, get inspired to make your own and help us decorate the sidewalks all around the library.

Penny and Pals will perform at 2 p.m.

This program is free and designed to encourage children to read over the summer months. Studies show that students who read over the summer are better prepared for school success in the fall. The LARL Summer Reading Program “Make A Splash: READ!” makes summer reading more fun with good books, special events and reading incentives.

Programming is sponsored by Lake Agassiz Regional Library and supported in part or in whole with money from Minnesota’s Arts & Cultural Heritage fund.

]]> Author William Durbin will share the craft of writing historical fiction at the Moorhead Library on Monday, March 29 at 7 p.m. He will share how to use people and events from your personal and community history as the basis for writing creative fiction. Durbin will share a collection of archival photos and discuss how he wrote and researched his novels, most of which are set in the Midwest and deal with familiar subjects such as immigration, homesteading, logging, mining, the Great Depression, and war.



The Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund (ACHF), which provided support for this program, was created by Minnesotans who approved a constitutional amendment in November 2008 which increased the state sales tax to support Minnesota’s arts history and cultural heritage.
