Spring Lake--Heartland Klezmorim will be performing traditional Klezmer music at Spring Lake District Library on Sunday, Jan. 8 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Klezmer music has a distinctive sound that is sure to lead to some serious toe-tapping, as it is often an inducement to get people dancing. Heartland Klezmorim band members include Ben Godoshian, drums; Drew Howard, banjo, mandolin, dobro; Chris Hamilton, string bass; Susanne Garber, violin and David Klein, trumpet. The band hails from East Lansing and performs throughout the state. To hear their music or learn more about the band visit www.heartlandklezmorim.com.

Aspiring artists are encouraged to learn basic line structure for drawing their favorite dogs and cats with local artist and instructor, Corinne Roberts on September 29 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.in Loutit District Library's Program Room A.

Students need to bring paper, pencil and an eraser. Photographs of their pets or favorite breeds to draw from are welcome.

Registration is required either online at www.loutitlibrary.org or by visiting the Adult Information Desk at the library.

The LDL will be accepting cash donations and/or dog/cat food to be delivered to the Harbor Humane Society to help our local furry friends during the week of this class. Students are welcome to drop off any donations the night of the class as well.
