Meet Laura Ingalls Wilder

(Performed by Actress Melanie Stringer)

Thursday, October 6th at 7 PM
at the Adrian Elementary School

In this highly interactive program, Mrs. Wilder, also known as Melanie Stringer, relates stories of her real life experiences of life on the prairie in 1896 as told from Laura’s perspective in an unscripted interpretation of Wilder’s experiences. Every Meet Laura Ingalls Wilder program offers a research-based, first-person, interactive history lesson to students and Wilder fans of all ages. Programs feature original research, hands-on artifact displays, period-authentic clothing and much more.

Sponsored by Nobles County Library and Nobles County Historical Society

Mrs. Wilder’s appearances are made possible through the state’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, which dedicates funding to preserve Minnesota’s arts and cultural heritage.

Library Fundraiser

The Adrian Branch Library is raising funds for a much-needed renovation. On April 19, 2016, the Nobles County Commissioners approved the project. Nobles County will finance the repair and remodeling of the library building itself. The fundraiser is for the furnishings of the library, such as shelves, tables, chairs, computer desks, check-out desk, items for the children’s area, etc.

The goal is to raise $80,000 by the fall of 2016 in order for the project to be completed as soon as possible.
