As temperatures cool and the craziness of summer winds down, the New York Mills Public Library has a variety of events planned throughout September. 

Anyone who is interested in attending one of the events are being asked to preregister by calling the NY Mills Library at (218) 385-2436 as some events have limited space.

History in Hats

Missy Hermes, Education Coordinator at the Otter Tail County Historical Society, will be presenting on the theme “Otter Tail County History in Hats” on Wednesday, Sept. 13 at 6:30 p.m. at the library. This event was originally scheduled for April, but was postponed due to a blizzard.

Hermes will be sharing stories of some of the historical hats, hat makers, people, and events throughout Otter Tail County’s past. The event is free and open to all and preregistration is encouraged to secure a seat by preregistering. Participants are invited to wear their favorite hat.
