One Book, One Community at the Hibbing Public Library

This week at the library enjoy several events as part of the One Book, One Community event.
  • Piano Recital by students of Nadine Berg on Monday, April 26th, 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the library auditorium.

  • Story Time is a program for pre-schoolers with books, songs and the “Letter of the Week.” Open play if time permits. Volunteers are needed for craft projects. Tuesday at 10:00 a.m.

  • Poets Workshop for Kids on Wednesday, April 28th, 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the children's room. Bart and Ross will present a poetry and music program for kids.

    As a poetry-and-music duo, The Sutter Brothers have performed all over Minnesota and beyond—from Sandstone’s Quarry Days to the International Poetry Forum in Pittsburgh, from the Big Top Chautauqua in Bayfield, Wisconsin, to the Fitzgerald Theatre in St. Paul.

    Ross is known for his rich baritone voice and mastery of an impressive array of instruments: guitar, button accordion, mountain dulcimer, and Irish drum. He has appeared on A Prairie Home Companion and at The Winnipeg Folk Festival.

    The author of six books, Bart has won the Minnesota Book Award three times and was named the first Poet Laureate of Duluth.

    Though Ross and Bart have established individual reputations, when they perform as a pair, their work has the kind of counterpoint and easy intimacy unique to sibling acts. A blend of original poetry and traditional folk music, their show draws on their small-town roots and Swedish-American heritage.

    The Sutter Brothers have performed at the American Swedish Institute and were recently featured in the film Pretty Much 100% Scandinavian.

  • Toddle Time at the library a program for toddlers aged 2-3 years with books, songs and finger plays. Open play if time permits. Thursday at 10:00 a.m.
  • Magic Mama Concert on Friday, April 30th, 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the library auditorium.

    Magic Mama is often called an “edu-tainer". She has a commitment to the environment and shares her knowledge with everyone through music and fun. Reviews of her performances state, “brings a fresh, new perspective to children’s music” and “songs are perfect for children and offer much for adults to enjoy as well”.
