The Friends of the Fort Dodge Library announce this spring’s installment of the Brown Bag Briefings. They are held every Thursday at noon in the meeting room of the Fort Dodge Library. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lunch. Water, coffee and cookies will be provided. The briefings last one hour and the public is invited to attend. There is no charge for admission.

Lori Gascho, who volunteers at the Fort Dodge Historical Society, will present a history of Fort Dodge movie theaters on Thursday. Remember driving down Central Avenue looking at the marquees to see what was playing at the various theaters? It should be lots of fun to rekindle those memories.
