Emigrant is a rural, quaint little town located about 30 miles south of Livingston, but what is little known about the community is there is a ballet school turning out some highly talented dancers.

Rose Brunson, 12, of Emigrant, has been studying ballet for the last six years, taking an interest in the Russian style of dance — the Vaganova method — which she will study at the prestigious Kirov Academy of Ballet’s Summer Ballet Intensive in Washington, D.C., beginning June 26. 

Public library offers fiction and nonfiction reads

A radio announcement informed us that April 26 is National Remember Your First Kiss Day. Nice. Amidst the bluster, posturings, and general gnashing of teeth along the old campaign trail (let alone the overall state of the world), how agreeable to recall that small but grand moment when love and all of life lay waiting before you.

This moment of repose brought to you by your library. As well as new books.
