Scholastic Book Sale
The Harlan Community Library will be hosting a Scholastic Book Fair in the Community Room Dec. 7th through Dec. 12th during regular library hours.
The book fair is open to everyone. Please come in and take the opportunity to browse and purchase books. These Scholastic books would make great Christmas or birthday gifts. We will have a gift wrap table set up for everyone's convenience. Coffee and hot chocolate will be available for refreshments.
Information on the books available is at our Scholastic Book Fair site
We will be having several contests to give everyone a chance to win free gift certificates to purchase items at the book fair. (Drawing will be Thursday evening at 4:00.) No purchase is necessary to enter the drawing. Be sure to stop in the library to enter.
If you have not received a flyer, stop in at the library and pick one up. It will give you ideas of the types of books and items that will be available.
Don't miss this opportunity to light up a child's face with the excitement of reading a good book!
See you at the Book Fair!

Tom Milligan, Professional Actor, Des Moines
Tom Milligan an award winning professional actor, portrays Grant Wood and Henry Wallace. Tom has appeared in literally hundreds of plays across the
state, and for ten years, appeared at Charlie's Showplace, Iowa's first dinner theater. Tom also offers workshops on acting throughout Iowa, and also
appears on Iowa Public Television.
Grant Wood: Prairie Rebel In this 45-minute, one-man show, Grant Wood chats with the audience as if talking to an old friend across the backyard fence, or maybe at his home at Five Turner Alley in Cedar Rapids. He tells us about his life and how he changed the art world forever with his work. It is the man behind American Gothic that we hear and see, and the story of how he took the moments, the memories, and the people of our state, and showed the whole world the specialness of this Iowa. After the presentation, the audience is encouraged to ask questions of the actor about Grant Wood and his life.
