PLAYHOUSE AND LIBRARY TO COLLABORATE

The Grand Marais Playhouse is collaborating with Grand Marais Public Library to host a play reading night on Wednesday, November 7, at 6 PM in the Library. The event features The Enemy of the People, Arthur Miller, adapted from Henrik Ibsen's play.

A second reading is planned for January 23rd featuring It Can’t Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis, adapted by Tony Taccone and Bennett S. Cohen. Watch your community calendars and media outlets for more information.

Interested parties are invited to come to the library and take a role, or to sit and listen. Conversation will follow. No experience is necessary, we just gather, assign roles and read the play. This will allow us to experience plays that the Playhouse has been unable to produce full productions of for a variety of reasons.


This experimental activity, if successful, may become a regular collaboration between the Library and Playhouse.

LIBRARY TO WAIVE FINES DURING NOVEMBER

The Grand Marais Public Library board has voted to support a regional initiative sponsored by Arrowhead Library System called “We’re Thankful for You! This initiative encourages area libraries to forgive fines that have been incurred by library users up to age 18 during the month of November. Beginning November 1 through the end of the month, Grand Marais library staff will waive fines incurred by these individuals against Grand Marais Public Library owned materials. What this means to young local users is if they keep a book beyond the due date, they won’t be charged the overdue fines.

This event includes only the overdue fines, and only runs until the end of November. Fees assessed for damages, lost materials, and other purposes will continue to be collected. The library board intends to evaluate the results of this experiment in regard to the impact of library fines on our users.

FAST FRIENDS @THE LIBRARY

Library Friends of Cook County and Grand Marais Public Library are joining forces to bring a fun activity to the Grand Marais Public Library Saturday, November 10, from 11 AM until 1 PM. Fast Friends is a casual and upbeat social gathering for adults with facilitated quick meaningful conversations among guests in a comfortable, welcoming environment – your library.

In today’s world, one of the most powerful things we can do is connect with each other face-to-face, especially with our neighbors and community.


Please join us. We’d like to meet you!


Food and refreshments are to be provided by the Library Friends of Cook County.
