Food Fun Drawing will take place on May 27th at 5pm.  Check out the Library calendar on our website or Facebook page and bring in a food item from one of the National Food Celebration Days from May.  That item gets you a drawing ticket entry.  Non-perishable items only please.  Creativity is encouraged.  The winner of the drawing gets all the items collected that month to enjoy.

Asahi Nordic Exercise will be held on Wednesdays in May at 4pm at the library.  In June we will be switching our time to 8:30am and meet at The Friends Place weather permitting.  If the weather is uncooperative, we will move indoors.

Paint Night will be held on Friday, May 30th at 6pm.  We’ll be painting with a recording of The Art Sherpa’s “Little Boy Fishing on Pier”.  Stop by or call the library at 715-274-8331 to register and receive a supply list.

CLICK & Learn is on Mondays from 10am-1pm.  Please take the time to stop in with your questions while he is available in May.  In June, you will need to make an appointment, as Jay Seppanen will only stop by Mellen if an appointment is made.
