Orland Haack thrives on reading mystery and love stories.

To share his passion with others, Haack joined maintenance staff at his Lake City home to construct a Little Free Library out in front.

The Red Wing participant’s miniature library shaped like a house is one of a handful in Lake City where people can drop off or take books without needing to check them out, explains Case Coordinator Gloria Solsaa.

Haack is very delighted with the project and was happy to be featured in his local newspaper.

Animal joys, fur and feathered

 

Participants always enjoy seeing animals whether it be at DSP Lori Clemens’ farm, or the Minnesota Zoo. Her place is filled with dogs, cats, chickens, and even a donkey and pony. Highlights from the zoo include llamas, bears, sharks, and the tunnels.

ProAct also visited the newly renovated National Eagle Center in Wabasha. Staff and participants learned there are more than 40 different types of eagles in the world.
