Reminder: the Grow Another Row stand is not a trash can. If you are in need of a trash bin - the City of Lewis supplies one in front of City hall - only about 20 steps away from the stand where we found someone's breakfast sandwich today.

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library will continue.

To answer some questions we've been getting about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library:

Yes, the program will continue! Dolly had an amazing business sense and she set up the program to continue well after her life was over--we just didn't know how soon she'd be gone.

Yes, any child living in Cass County who is under 5 years old is eligible to receive a book each month until their 5th birthday. The first and last books a child receives are the same; all the ones in between are developmentally appropriate based on your child's age.

Local affiliates (here that's Cass County Library Association) raise money to cover the actual cost of printing and mailing the book. We are accepting sponsors for 2027 or you can bring a donation of any size to a Cass County library. Monthly sponsor amount is $600.

If you have more questions or would like to request a local presentation, please contact Michelle at the library.

We missed it yesterday, but Frankenstein is 200 years old!

Did you know today is Frankenstein Day? August 30th celebrates the birthday of Mary Shelley, whose groundbreaking novel Frankenstein is now more than 200 years old. A revolutionary work that helped pioneer the science fiction genre, the novel is far more than a story about a monster, it challenges readers to question humanity, responsibility, and what truly makes someone "monstrous." Its sympathetic portrayal of the Creature continues to spark discussions about ethics, identity, and scientific innovation. https://bit.ly/4xYhXm2
