Friday Dance Movies in August

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

We’ll be dancing away the dog days of summer every Friday in August at the Dr. James Carlson branch of the Fargo Public Library as we feature movies with a beat. All shows begin at 1:30 p.m. There is no charge for these programs and free popcorn will be served.

This summer, we’ve got the real dancing stars:

  • August 8 - Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr in The King and I (G)
  • August 15 - Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor in Moulin Rouge (PG-13)
  • August 22 - Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae in Oklahoma! (G)
  • August 29 - Robert Sean Leonard and Christian Bale in Swing Kids (PG-13)

A special swing dance demonstration will be presented by members of the Northern Lights Ballroom Dance Club prior to the August 29 showing.

Upgraded Successfully!

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

After some minor post-upgrade hiccups, we are fully functional again. This includes taking Interlibrary Loan Requests.

Upgrade and Downtime July 18-21st

Monday, July 14th, 2008

The Fargo Public Library will be undergoing a systems upgrade from Friday, July 18 through Monday, July 21. Customers will be unable to place holds or pay fines. Customers will be unable to renew items over the phone or online; renewals are possible in person if the customer brings in both the items and the library card they were originally checked out on. The online catalog will also have out-of-date availability information; it may indicate items are available when they are not. Starting Tuesday, July 22, we hope to be fully operational again.

Thank you for all your patience and support!
