Across the region, summer is still in full swing — at least for the next week or so. Libraries throughout the area have a lot of offerings left for August
(JTA) â This year we celebrated Passover early, on a Sunday a few days before St. Patrickâs Day. My adult children will disperse before the official holiday, but with the darkest days of the pandemic behind us, we have much to celebrate.

January is a time when many people look back and reflect on the previous year and look forward to the upcoming year with hope and anticipation, this year even more so. The local Minot Public Library is no different as staff, board members, and volunteers reflect back on a year of change and pivot.
For the Minot Public Library, 2020 was certainly a year of transformation; some of this was planned and much of it was not. We started the year with many changes including a large exterior renovation to protect and update the building as well as re-carpeting the second floor. In addition, the retirement of our Children’s Librarian, Paulette Nelson after 40 years of service was a time for celebration. We welcomed some new members to the Library team and wished others farewell as they retired, moved and began new careers.
