READ N PLAY
Come and join us for Read N Play every Monday from 10:15 a.m. to 11 a.m. Story time begins in the library followed by free play in the gym where equipment such as a crawling tunnel, balancing stones, child-sized basketball hoops, jump ropes and more are available.

TRAVEL BOOK DONATIONS NEEDED
Our travel books and guides, although popular, are terribly outdated. If you have any guides that you can part with that are no older than five years, please consider donating them to the library so others in the community can share.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR OUR NEXT AUTHOR VISIT
Author Darrell J. Pedersen will speak at the library on Monday, April 7 starting at 2 p.m. You may have already read his first book, a collection of memoir and essays called Campfire in the Basement: Reflections from a North Woods Lake. He will be speaking about that and his newest book called Who Will Carry the Fire? Before his visit come to the library to check out his books.

Book Donations

While we will continue to accept donations over the fall and winter, we ask that you donate only books that are relatively new and in excellent shape. We cannot store older titles or books that do not meet our donation policy. When preparing items for donation, please read the Donation Policy below before you bring your donations in. Again, storage space is limited so make sure your books meet our requirements. We will accept donations during library hours of operation only.
_{*Please do not put donated items in the book drops. They are meant for returning current collection items only. Thank you.}
