Discussion of local author’s book to be held at Redwood Falls Public Library

Darby Nelson, a teacher, legislator, author, and defender of Minnesota’s waterways, passed away earlier this year in January. His book “For Love of a River: the Minnesota” was the pick for the county-wide reading program called “One Book, One County.” Thanks to a very generous donation from Darby’s wife, Geri, the libraries in Lamberton, Morgan, Redwood Falls, and Wabasso were able to offer free copies of the book to any and all Redwood County residents who wished to read it. In fact, there are a few free copies left at the libraries, for any who are interested. The idea behind the program was simple. Pick up a free copy, and once you finished reading the book, you could pass it on to a friend or neighbor, or keep it for yourself and add it to your personal library at home.

The pandemic has spurred many lifestyle changes and one of them has been that Americans have been adopting more puppies than ever. Tracking that information has been TOP Data Marketing Agency, a research-agency who collects and analyzes information and broadcast its findings via news media. Noting that National Dog Day was Friday, Aug. 26, a big day for dog owners, TOP Data unleashed a report about puppy loving states, and the report found that Minnesota ranks 23rd on the U.S. list of most puppy loving states. Taking the top spot was New Hampshire, number one, followed by Oregon and Nevada. Folks in Mississippi were the least interested in adopting a puppy since the start of the pandemic. That said, folks in Mississippi might have been rich in dogs before the pandemic. Who knows?
