Stories from the Stacks: Whatever happened to Dewey?

Pipestone County Star ·

2024/07/12

Melvil Dewey created the Dewey Decimal System to help readers find what they are looking for. Dewey is used in most public, K-12 schools. Alternatives to Dewey include the Library of Congress Classification System which is used widely by college and academic libraries, as well as the BISAC System which readers encounter in many bookstores. Then there’s us. A few years ago, Meinders Community Library switched from Dewey to a predominantly BISAC-based system of organizing our shelves. We did so...

Letters from our readers: A good history lesson

Pipestone County Star ·

2024/07/12

TO THE EDITOR: I would like to thank the Human Rights Commission for holding a Juneteenth event. The event was very informative about its origins and how slow communications were in the 1860’s or how the union allowed the cotton harvest to be completed prior to freeing all the slaves. Perhaps it may have been both. To fully understand why the Confederate Army west of the Mississippi River didn’t surrender at the same time as the army of Northern Virgina, you will need to study the issue of st...

A little wandering is good for the mind

Pipestone County Star ·

2024/07/12

You know that feeling you get when you’ve been wandering in the woods in the rain, looking for a giant yellow rabbit and you finally find it? I love that feeling. My kids and I recently experienced it during a week-long vacation. We visited family and friends, spent time at the Lake Geneva Christian Center and went troll hunting in Detroit Lakes. The trolls were made by Danish artist Thomas Dambo using repurposed materials. The largest is 36 feet tall. There’s also a huge yellow rabbit, who i...

Letters from our readers: Farmer's Market needs a home

Pipestone County Star ·

2024/07/12

TO THE EDITOR: So why is the Farmers Market trying to find another location for their sales (2 hours on Wednesday, 4 hours on Saturday)? I’m told they had all their permits and okay from the city for the city owned public parking off Second St. N.W. I was informed that the parking across from the post office was also unavailable. It would seem something would be available by the city for these businesses. Bob Klinsing PipestoneArticle Link

As the rest of the state is well aware of, the recent weather as of late has been a bit...well...wet.
