ND Junior Duck Stamp exhibit

The Bowman Regional Public Library invites you to visit the library to see the many entries to the 2022 North Dakota Junior Duck Stamp Competition.

The ND Junior Duck Stamp program teaches biology and habitat conservation through scientific observation and artistic interpretation. The contest is open to Kindergarten through 12th grade students. Students are judged in four age groups at the state level – Grades K-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12. Three first, second, and third place entries and sixteen honorable mentions are selected for each group.

Bowman County Schools student, Matthew Kvaale, was one of the winners this year. He received a second place in the Grades 4-6 age bracket with his colorful drawing of a Wood Duck.

The exhibit will be on display at the Public Library through December 20th.

Local Quilters display works based on popular novel

More than a dozen quilters will display their quilts inspired by the book, The Book of Lost Names, by Kristin Harmel, at the Bowman Regional Public Library.

First, each quilter read the book. They met at the library to discuss the book in November. Then they used creativity and their imaginations to create their own unique quilts based on their interpretation of the novel.

The quilts will hang until the middle of April 2022.

The idea for this exhibition was presented to the library by Margie Hande. Margie approached the library after seeing an exhibit based on the book at a quilt show in Oregon. She thought it would be a fun idea to try here knowing the depth of talent found in quilters in our region.

The quilters are from Rhame, Bowman, Amidon, Belfield, and Dickinson. 

Quilts on display at the Library.

The quilts will hang in the Bowman Regional Public Library until April 14th. Visit the library at any time during library hours to view the quilts. An opening reception will be held on Wednesday, February 16th at 2 PM at the Library.
