Library Open House
- 2008
On Tuesday, April 15th, our Carrington
City Library celebrated National Library Week. It was a cozy,
inviting scene, with comfy chairs, yummy treats and pleasant
hostesses. Lenore Franchuk, our City Librarian, welcomed
everyone as Donna Dunn and Illa Zink, two of our Library Board
members, chatted with visitors.
Donna Dunn, a library board member,
sits in a cozy corner of the library as she greets visitors.
As visitors
looked at the antique radio collection, and browsed through the
books that were for sale, Mrs. Franchuk explained that their online
library service connects Carrington to a seemingly unlimited
source of books and reference materials. For people who love
books and hands-on reading and research, the Carrington City Library
is definitely the place to be!
Illa Zink helps serve visitors while
community members chat and look at books.

LET'S DISPLAY OUR AMERICAN
FLAGS!
The Memorial Day Program starts this year at 11:00 a.m.
at the cemetery with Todd Ingegretson (VFW Post #3524)
presiding. In the event of rain, the program will
be held at Trinity Lutheran Church. The Memorial
Day address will be given by Chet Pollert, our State
representative. KDAK will broadcast the ceremonies live.
This is a program well worth attending in honor of loved
ones. After the ceremony, all participants are invited
to a noon luncheon at the CrossRoads Golf Course
(courtesy of the VFW Auxiliary).
Note: Did you know
that the "National Moment of Remembrance" was created in
1997? 'Taps' is at 3 p.m. throughout America to
honor the contributions of our dead soldiers. All
Americans are encouraged to pay respect to them by
keeping silent for one minute in their memory at 3:00
p.m.
"And I'm proud to be an
American, where at least I know I'm free, and I won't
forget the men who died, who gave that right to me and
I'll proudly stand next to him to defend her still
today, 'cuz there ain't no doubt I love this land, god
bless the USA." -Lee Greenwood |
