The Edible Car Contest is this Saturday, Feb. 21, at 10:30 a.m. Come join the fun. All ages are welcome to create a two axle (or more) vehicle entirely from edible items. Race the car down our track for distance. Prizes awarded to creators of the vehicles who travel the furthest.
The library will provide a variety of food items from spaghetti and other pasta to cheerios and sandwich cookies to carrots and hard candy. If you have an item you think you’ll need, we recommend bringing it as we can’t guarantee we’ll think of the same things as you.
The library has received all the tax forms it will be receiving this tax season. We have Minnesota income tax forms and the refund for homeowners and renters property tax refund. We have the federal 1040, 1040a and 1040ez forms. That is all that the federal government is distributing to libraries this year. We will not be receiving any instruction booklets or other forms.
The library printed one copy of each instruction booklet that may be used in the library. You may also visit irs.gov/orderforms to order tax products to be delivered by mail, visit irs.gov/forms to view and download forms, call 1-800-829-3676 to order tax products to be delivered by mail and if you have questions. The AARP volunteer tax aides are also available to help most people file their taxes online. They are located at the Backus Community Center in Rooms 208 and 209. Call 283-5236 to make an appointment.
The library website http://internationalfallslibrary.us has lots of resources available all day, every day to assist you in finding information, discovering books and more. Be sure and check it out. We have resources to help you find a career, price an antique or fix a snowmobile. We also have a number of legal resources to help you find a legal form, legal advice, state and local ordinances. Our website provides you with access to Overdrive, the platform we use to provide access to digital audiobooks and e-books, and to Zinio, the service that allows you to access over 80 digital magazines for free.
The website also has a calendar with library hours and information about all our programs. You can find out what is happening at the library with details and additional information. So please stop by our website and check out what we can offer you even when the physical building is closed or not where you are when you need information.
Most of you know that we offer more than books these days. We offer movies, feature films and documentaries, magazines, science kits, access to Wii and PS3 games, board games, digital cameras as well as friendly employees willing to answer your questions and help you find great books to read, the resources to learn a new skill or maybe just escape. We’d love to have you stop by and ask us for help or come explore on your own. Visit your library today.

Pet of the Week
Hi, my name is “Penelope.” I was found in a hardware store looking for food. The wonderful people tried to find my family, but didn’t have any luck. Lucky for me, they called the Borderland Humane Society and now I have a home. It will not be my permanent home, but for now it is home – warm, lots of love, food and water. I am a sweet girl who loves to snuggle and to be the center of attention. If possible, I would like for your world to revolve around me (in a good way). I depend on you, you depend on me to be a good listener and a lap warmer. — Sincerely, Penelope

In loving memory of our dear dad, Donald Harder, who passed away Feb. 20, 1993.
Down the path of memories.
We gently tread today;
Our loving thoughts are with you,
As life goes on its way.
The memories we have of you,
Are something that we treasure;
It’s a way to keep you in our hearts,
And close to us forever.
Sadly missed by
