Let the Programs Begin

It is with no small relief that I am able to write the title of this post. In fact, I will keep 99% of the words I want to write to myself because we have beautiful flyers to show you all the great things we have in store for the remainder of spring.

Make sure to scroll through all eleven flyers to find the one(s) that speak to you. Sign up for events that require registration, check out our clubs and groups that begin next week, and help us determine which programs we should continue offering.

Also, participate in National Library Week (April 7-13) to get entered into a prize drawing–courtesy of Pipestone Area Friends of the Library.

While the library isn’t 100% finished, we are well on our way to better serving you! Follow us on facebook or this blog to keep up to date on all our happenings!

If you have time between watching #3298 and our upcoming World War II program on Monday night, stop by the school to cheer for the Pipestone Area Speech team during their sub-section meet on Saturday. The first round starts at 10am, with the second round at 11:30 and finals expected to begin at 1:30.

At this point you may asking yourself: what does speech have to do with STEAM? To which I say, communication is an art. Performing is an art. So is writing. For months, these youth (and their un-pictured teammates) have worked hard to mold the written word into something compelling, informative, and artistic.

In short, speech is the basis for understanding an idea and providing a path for others to follow. Without communication, there is no STEAM. And without steam, there is no programming. Lucky for you, we have lots STEAMy activities headed your way.
