	January 2011
	Expanding Our Role as an Information Hub Bonnie Goble, Director Fredricksen Library has needed television capability for quite a while. As an information center, the library needs to be able to provide up-to-the-minute news on events that are happening in the community and in the nation. In the event of a national emergency, or even a local emergency, Fredricksen should be able to provide immediate coverage. The library is used as a gathering center for people who need information. Until now, Fredricksen had no viable way to provide that for current events. Read More

Sculpture as an Expression of Literature & History
Tuesday, January 18 at 7 pm
Mr. Ralph Ashwell has graced our lobby display for years with his one-of-a-kind mahogany carvings centered around our history from the Revolutionary War through the Vietnam War. Join him as he delves into the stories behind those sculptures and the fascinating histories they portray. Using his own sculptures and recitations from American literature, Mr. Ashwell paints a vivid picture of our nation's history that you won't soon forget. No registration necessary.
