CRYSTAL FALLS — The Crystal Falls Community District Library will host two upcoming events.

A children’s story hour about birds and the artwork of Lucy Cousins will take place at 3:30 p.m. today. The group will read several of Cousins’ books, including “Hurray for Birds.”

Children who attend will paint owls with gouache paint in Cousins’ signature style, which she uses in her Maisy book series. All children will receive a book about owls to take home to add to their personal home library. Snacks and juice will be provided.

Earth Day will be celebrated at the library at 6 p.m. Monday. Richard P. Smith will discuss his book, “Nickel & Dime Your Way To Extra Dollars.”

Refreshments will be served. Smith will have copies of his book available to purchase and to autograph after his presentation.
