Arts Guild Member Randy Mitchell exhibits his wood carvings.  A Northfield native, Randy recalls childhood winters filled with sledding days and quiet snowscapes.  “My show is to bring back the good old times of a warm heart and the view of a fresh start that comes from a winter scene in one’s own mind.”

This gallery is located near the lab waiting area at Allina Medical Clinic of Northfield at 1440 Jefferson Road.  Regular Clinic Hours are 7 am to 8 pm Monday through Thursday, 7 am to 7 pm Fridays, and 9 am to 3 pm Saturdays.

As the academic year draws to a close, some Carleton students are lightening up, and that means great bargains for area residents.

Each spring Carleton College students donate unwanted possessions to the Center for Community and Civic Engagement (CCCE) for its annual Lighten Up sale, held during the College’s reunion weekend. This year’s Lighten Up sale will be held at West Gym on Friday, June 15 from 8:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. and on Saturday, June 16 from 8:00 a.m. until noon. The CCCE advises shoppers that the best bargains can often be found early in the sale.

The gym will be filled with the donated belongings of Carleton’s student body. Items on sale can include clothing (including winter gear), books, sporting goods, household items, furniture, bedding, electronics and a wide variety of other items.

 First Steps Early Literacy Center

A parent or caregiver-directed activity center where toddlers and preschoolers are surrounded by alphabet manipulatives, concept books, board books and puzzles, all designed to be a fun learning experience.

First Steps is open every Monday, Friday and Saturday. It is dependent on volunteers, but if the door is closed and you would like to use the room please ask at the circulation desk and you will be let in. It is the parent/caregiver’s responsibility to straighten the room up upon departure. If you are interesting in volunteering please contact the library!
